A coastal city located in the Peloponnese in Greece. Founded in antiquity, the city became an important seaport in the Middle Ages during the Frankokratia 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 mystical place like the Venetians’ ‘Naples of the East’ and the first capital of Greece. Viewed from above, Nafplio oozes romance: tile roofs, grand homes and a blue-green sea. The famous Bourtzi, Akronafplia and Palamidi castles add a sense of drama to this stunning seaport town, consisting of fortresses, neoclassical buildings, old neighbourhoods, wide sidewalks and large squares. 
The Acropolis of Nafplio, which the Turks named called it Kale, was erected by the Venetians and later passed on to the Byzantines and Ottomans.
Don’t forget the sun drenched beaches and blue green sea.
