Nafplion, Greece Cruises

Nafplion, Greece Cruise Port

• One the historic sites from the past that remains intact is Palamidi, a fortress built by the Venetians between 1711 and 1714. With a lovely view of the Argolic Gulf, the climb to the top will take some ambition; the number of steps to the very top of the castle number over 1,000.
   
• The most popular walking route in town is located along the Arvanitia Promenade. Taking you from the western pier to Arvanitia Square, the stroll includes the remaining fortifications of Akronafplia Castle, the Nafplio Yacht Club, and the Palamidi Castle.
   
• To explore the artefacts that have been preserved here, visit the Nafplion Archaeological Museum. Here you'll see items excavated from the general Argolis area, including Mesolithic objects, contents from several Bronze Age settlements and tombs, and a collection of Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic items.
   
• Fairly close to the center of the old town, the sandy Karathona Beach sits snugly against the blue harbor waters. It’s not for those particularly seeking quiet, as it's fairly popular during the summer months. There are places at the beach to rent equipment for water sports, from diving equipment to surfboards.
