Our next destination is the charming seaside town of Nafplio — also known by its historic name, Napoli di Romania — considered one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in Greece.Once the first capital of the modern Greek state, Nafplio is filled with neoclassical buildings, narrow cobblestone alleys, and elegant Venetian influences. As we stroll through its picturesque streets, we’ll take in the grandeur of the Palamidi Fortress perched high above the town, the iconic Bourtzi Castle rising from the middle of the harbor, and the beautiful Cathedral of Saint George, an important landmark of the old town.After our guided walk, you’ll have some free time to explore at your own pace — perhaps to enjoy a coffee by the sea, browse the local boutiques, or simply soak in the relaxed atmosphere of this captivating town.You will be able to stroll around, take pictures and have lunch in the "shade" of the tall neoclassical buildings next to Sydagma square if time allows it.
