Nafplio City Tour
Joined 2022
A very beautiful and picturesque settlement, Nafplio is located in the southwest side of the Peloponnese and is famous for being the first capital of Modern Greece. Nowadays, it's a popular tourist destination, famous for its narrow alleys and its Venetian castle, called Palamidi that dominates its skyline. As a friendly and easy going person, who is specialized in modern Greek history, this tour is ideal for me in order to transmit you my knowledge of the region!

We begin our tour by visiting the Three Admirals' square and the nearby buildings. Afterwards, we head towards Syndagma square, making some stops on the way. Syntagma square is the most popular part of the city and contains buildings such as the first parliament of modern Greece and the Museum. We visit the Museum and then we walk towards the port, where we will take some photos of the fortified islet of Bourtzi. Right after, we take a car and drive towards Palamidi Castle, making a stop in the Lion of Bavaria sculptural group.
