Nafplio is one of the most beautiful towns in the region of Argolida, as well as one of the most romantic in all of Greece, and it was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834. The history of this ancient town is reflected in its culture, traditions and architecture. It is replete with ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments, statues, Ottoman fountains, Venetian or neoclassical buildings that amaze the visitor with their unique architecture and beauty, and many other tourist attractions. The charming Nafplio draws in droves to discover the gems that fill the medieval old town, along with narrow cobbled alleys, well-preserved neoclassical mansions, with bougainvillea trees adorning the courtyards, balconies and Turkish fountains.
