It was named by the Venetians as \u201cthe Naples of Romania\u201d. The locals called it Anapli. In the minds of most people, Nafplio has established itself as one of the most romantic destinations in the country. We found that it is also particularly baby friendly as we were able to move around almost everywhere with the stroller. The only thing certain is that the first capital of the Greek state captivates you from the first moment! Welcome to the most instagrammable city in the country\u2026<\/p>\n

Colorful bougainvillea climbs the walls, cobblestone streets invite you to walk through them, neoclassical mansions steal your gaze, medieval castles create a mysterious atmosphere. In Nafplio you will feel like you are in another era\u2026 Byzantines, Venetians, Franks, Ottomans, Bavarians have left their indelible mark on the city in a marriage that makes it unique!<\/p>\n

If you think you can see everything in a weekend, you're kidding yourself. In addition to the fact that Nafplio is inexhaustible, within a short distance from it there are countless monuments worth exploring, such as Mycenae, Epidaurus, Tiryns, Argos. But let's look at them all in detail.<\/p>\n

Nafplio<\/strong><\/h5>\n

With the help and excellent work of his children Discover Nafplio<\/a> We toured the main points of the city but also some hidden, non-touristy corners that we will talk about below. In general, in Nafplio it is worth getting lost in the narrow streets of the old town and walking through them again and again. To avoid wandering aimlessly, however, follow our plan.<\/p>\n

King Constantine<\/strong><\/p>\n

From this street (also known as \u201cMegalos Dromos\u201d) you will start your walk. It is the busiest street in the city, starting from the old railway station. Heading towards the center you will come across two beautiful neoclassical buildings, the Courthouse<\/strong> (donation of the benefactor Andreas Syngrou) and the Nafplio Town Hall<\/strong> which housed the first High School. Next to it is the first Pharmacy<\/strong> \u00a0of the Italian philhellene Bonifacio Bonafin, which is in the process of restoration. The square in front of you is called the Three Admirals and in the middle of it is the tomb of Demetrios Ypsilantis. Next is the Trianon<\/strong>-old mosque (was a co-educational school) and the Italian style Syntagma Square. <\/strong>The square is dominated by the particularly remarkable Archaeological Museum<\/strong> (located in a building built by the Venetians in 1713 for the fleet's ammunition) and the Parliamentary<\/strong> (mosque that housed the first Greek Parliament). The houses of the great fighters of the Greek Revolution, Nikitaras and Theodoros Kolokotronis, were once located there. Behind the Parliament building you will see the Turkish Madrasah<\/strong>. An austere Ottoman building that at times housed an Ottoman seminary, the Executive (the first government 1824-1825) and then the old prisons. Today it houses workshops and warehouses of the Archaeological Museum.<\/p>\n\r\n
