8Nafplio – Romantic Escape Without the Rush

Often called one of Greece’s prettiest towns, Nafplio is an easy out-of-season getaway from Athens. The Venetian charm of its old town, colorful neoclassical mansions, and fortress-crowned hills feel even more romantic when the summer bustle subsides.

Out of season, you can wander the Palamidi Fortress or enjoy seaside cafés in peace. Spring and autumn showcase Nafplio at its best, with blooming flowers or golden foliage setting the scene.
