Description
Nafplio is an ideal base to explore many nearby ancient sites including Mycenae and Epidaurus. Hike to ancient sites, sea kayak in turquoise waters to secluded bays, discover idyllic beaches along the coast, enjoy two yoga sessions and enjoy a complimentary massage during the week. Pan Expeditions will be leading all the kayaking activities.
Actively explore Nafplio, one of most beautiful towns in the Peloponnese. Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834. The town has a fascinating history and sweeps visitors away with its Venetian charm. According to mythology, it was built by Poseidon’s son, Nafplios, who named the city after himself.
Nafplio has been a significant port since the Bronze Age and its strategic position led to the construction of three fortresses throughout its history: The largest, Palamidi, the smaller Akronafplia and Bourtzi, found on an islet west of the old town.
Venue
A traditional Greek villa with a pool, offering sweeping views over the town of Nafplio.
