Why Old Town of Nafplio matters
The old town is the main reason to stay in Nafplio. Pedestrian lanes lead between neoclassical houses and small squares, and shops sell sponges, sweets and local wine. Syntagma Square is the hub, with cafes under old Venetian buildings. Come back at night, when the streets are lit and tavernas fill.
Talking points
- Flowered balconies line the lanes.
