The 10 Best Tours in Nafplio, Peloponnese

June 27, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Nafplio (Greek: Ναύπλιο) is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.

We had a fantastic cycling trip with Stavroula. From the first moment until the finish we really enjoyed everything! She explained us a lot about historical sites in the area of Nafplion and told us a lot about the local habits and food. During the trip we had the most amazing views. It felt like Stavroula was a friend we had known for a long time. We’re looking back on a great day!

George is the best! We managed to have an awesome end of the year kayak trip! He's a very professional guide and all the equipment is great. Together with my girlfriend we had a very nice day on the water. The area of Epidavros is beautiful and George is the best guide! We where lucky to see some flying fish!! He took us to see the sites and provided a very tasteful home cooked Greek meal. Highly recommended! A real high light of our camper trip around Greece. We started the day as strangers and ended as friends!
