12:00 Drive to Nafplion and spend the night!

Nafplion is an enchanting city located in the Eastern region of the Greek mainland, only a two hour drive from Athens. It has an intense Medieval atmosphere, with streets paved in cobblestone and old mansions giving off a romantic vibe. As one of the first towns to set itself free during the War of Independence, it holds some striking historical sights such as Zahlorou Castle and the Palamidi fortress atop a hill above town which offers spectacular views of its surroundings. Those looking for sun and sand can also enjoy a day at the beach resort of Tolo with its long sandy shores and delicious seafood restaurants. From sightseeing to romantic walks to beach hopping, Nafplion has something fun for everyone!
