The architecture of Nafplio is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like Old Town tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like Acronauplia — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.
A romantic Peloponnese port town and Greece's first capital, with Venetian fortresses, neoclassical mansions, and a harbor castle.
