Nafplio
Nafplio is for many a terrestrial paradise of the Peloponnese, as it combines the architectural air of the past with modern finesse. The historic sites of the city, such as Palamidi, the colorful squares, and the alleys, reflect its rich cultural heritage. In spring, it seems to acquire an even more unique atmosphere, as the warm weather and beautiful nature create the perfect setting. So, if you’ve decided to rent a car and are relatively close to the area, we suggest you visit this beautiful place, even for a day.
