Discover Nafplio, Greece’s initial contemporary capital, notable for its majestic medieval fortresses and stunning seafront. This once inconspicuous port city actually served as the country’s first capital. Its remarkable history coupled with its advantageous location on a broad bay have made it a significant harbor throughout its existence.

Had a very pleasant... - Had a very pleasant experience with Petros as my driver. He made a stop at the remarkable Corinth Canal, drove me to Palamidi castle where the views are spectacular and dropped me off in Nafplio city center to shop and eat lunch. Nafplio is a beautiful coastal town to explore.

Definitely worth it! - Petros was a great guide! The agency was more than happy to accommodate a different departure time for us and Petros even helped us find a great spot to eat dinner in Nafplio! We didn’t feel rushed at all and was able to enjoy everything we wanted to!

Our excellent tour guide, Peter. - Peter was a wonderful tour guide. He was friendly, was very easy to converse with, was willing to explain things as we traveled and his English is very good. Peter was helpful, prompt and courteous throughout the day. The sites were also memorable but it was Peter that made the trip most memorable for Patrice and Alan.
