Introduction

Nafplio Old Town was Greece's first capital after independence, a harbour town ruled by Venice and Ottoman in turn, known for scattered red roofs, wrought-iron balconies and flagstone lanes. Around Syntagma (Constitution) Square sit the neoclassical parliament and cafés — the city's social heart; the seafront walk looks to the Bourtzi sea castle. Slow-paced and elegant, it is the Peloponnese's most stay-a-while stop.
