The Peloponnese's Most Elegant City
Nafplio — 140km southwest of Athens on the Argolic Gulf — was independent Greece's first capital (1821-1834) and remains its most elegant Peloponnesian city: Venetian mansions climbing the hillside, a harbour protected by the Bourtzi island fortress, and the Palamidi citadel (999 steps, or accessible by road) providing one of the finest views in southern Greece. FFGR Greece serves Nafplio as both a day trip from Athens and as a base for exploring the Argolid. The boutique hotels of the Old Town — Amymoni, 3sixty, Latini — are among the finest small hotels in Greece.
