After a morning filled with history and archaeology, you proceed to Nafplio, a charming coastal town with Venetian and neoclassical influences. Upon arrival, you can stroll through the picturesque streets, visit Syntagma Square, or admire the view from Palamidi Fortress. We suggest a leisurely lunch at a seaside taverna, that offers a taste of local Greek cuisine before checking in at the hotel. You will have the afternoon free for exploration, whether wandering through boutique shops, enjoying a coffee at one of the many charming cafés, or taking a short boat ride to the Fortress of Bourtzi. As the sun sets, you can have dinner at a traditional restaurant with a view of the illuminated fortress, the perfect end to the day.
