I live in Nafplio. I can't believe I didn't see you while you were doing this video. I have been recording videos of Nafplio on my new UA-cam channel @MyGreekLifestyle great video my friend!
I took a week to visit Greece with three days in Greece, three days in Monemvasia and just one night in Nafplio and I felt like I had to go back soon. Wish I was back there right now. An amazing time.
Nafplion is also my favourite place in Greece. We stayed in a hotel overlooking the harbour, opening the curtains when we arrived in our room and seeing the amazing view was a wow moment.
When you go there you have the feeling that you want to stay forever. A week it would be nice because they're a lot you may see in the area. You may organise a lot of day trips, for example to the nearby island of Spetses.
I went there on your advice. Love that place and am heading back this year! When I was there, they had a hop on hop off bus that runs around the whole town and runs up to the castle. You take hop off at the castle and the driver will tell you when he'll be back. I think it is about an hour which gives you plenty of time to explore the castle. I hired a driver to take me on excursions and back to Athens (rather than public transportation). It was worth it.
A couple of years ago, I took the whole family (ex-wife and 4 young adult kids) on an epic tour of Greece. We visited Athens, Santorini, Rhodes (and Istanbul on the way home). All amazing. But our favourite was Nafplio, and that's saying a lot. The wonderful walking path from Nafplio to Karathona beach is an adventure on its own. Would return in a heartbeat.
We went to Greece in 2014. We were there for 10 days and visited many different cities. We rented a car and had a wonderful time exploring as much as we could. We drove A LOT! Nafplio was my favorite place to visit. This video brought back so many lovely memories of that trip ❤ Ty for posting!
My dtr & i were just in Nafplio as well. What a lovely town. Stayed in Aetoma hotel, no elevators, but delightful staff & delicious bkfst. Take hop on & off bus to Palamidi Fortress, boat to Bourtzi castle
I love to go for hikes all the time in Nafplio. We, the locals hike around Nafplioall time. I have recorded most of my videos while going forward a hike.
Public busses to the historical sites of Mycene and Epidaurus are not running on weekend (even during peak touristic season). No local travel agency is picking up is offering a tour to Epidaurus. So you won't be able to visit Epidaurus unless you have a car (cab is 70 euros, which is more expansive than car rental). You may still be able to visit Mycene if you take the public bus to Fichti and walk the 4 km to Mycene, which may be challenging under 36oC degree. Also please keep in mind that Greek buses may run very late (i.e. 25 to 30 min) and will stop several time along the way.
probably the only channel i can thumbs up before it even begins! Great stuff professor.... now i just need to find that portal you use to get around so fast!
Don’t skip the steps either if you have a chance and ability try it. Just be aware it can get a bit slippery, especially on the way down, wear appropriate shoes. The view as you climb up is one of the best things. There is also a small Nafplio tour bus that goes there, but you will skip part of the view of course.
I love Nafplio… the absolute workout of trekking up-to the Palamidi Fotress, the little boutiques, the restaurants (I think one of my all time favourite gyros grills is there 🤤 ) a gorgeous Italian Gelateria just around the corner from the port. But, you’ve mentioned Tolo for the beech a couple of times. My recommendation is that you base yourself at Tolo for your holiday for exactly that beech, wonderful during the day with great views, amazing ambience in the evening and night with those beachside tavernas and that sunrise in the morning… WOW. And if you’re not up for car hire (like me) then there are regular buses from and to Nafplio which is literally pocket change.
View from the Palamidi fortress is amazing. Great choice of restaurants too (Stavlos!). Fly to Athens, rent a car, drive for 2 hours and you're in Nafplio.The perfect start for a Peloponnese road-trip, April-May or October!
When I 1st visit Nafplio I didnt went up the stairs, but I went down the stairs. It wa spring and I was only 24 years of age. ;Ever since didnot do it again. I go very often.
Great video you have really captured what to do in Nafplio. It is a bit of an undiscovered gem, at least as far as foreign tourists are concerned. one of my recommendations is to have breakfast in The Kentrikon in Syndagma Square- it is always really good.
Hi! Great Greece tip, leave this Friday to be in Samos for three months. I am on beautiful island of Samos. A MUST & greenest island of Greece & only 45 minutes to Kusadasi Turkey. I did it last summer & doing it again. To get to Nafplio best way to get there?? Do you go from Athens to Nafplio? Do Northern Greece at same time?
Hey there great video. I would like to add to these great advices, the place that the first prime minister, Ioannis Kapodistrias was murdered. He was murdered outside of the Church of St. Spyridon and actually the print from the bullet is still visible in the wall of the Church.
Looks really beautiful will be there soon and getting more excited. As far as $$ how much do you suggest bringing in Euros from U.S. to start a trip? Do you get euros at a bank prior, or in a US airport, or in Athens airport upon arrival ( kiosks/ currency exchange or ATM’s)? Find certain ATM’s in Greece have less fees? Do find major credit cards accepted at merchants, restaurants by ride services through Athens and the Islands?
We were there last year at this time. Somewhat quiet town. It actually felt Americanized in the square but nicely so. It didn't seem foreign. The ice cream was great at the shop located on the left just before the area where we hoped back on the tour bus.

Nafplio is one of the most beautiful cities in greece, and very picturesque !
It certainly is. So much so that I moved from the UK here to Greece 🇬🇷
@@MyGreekLifestyle How many days would you recommend for Nafplio? Thank you in advance
@@Mongoose-ct6us Nafplio is perfect for a long weekend. 3 days is great, but you could also stay in Nafplio and check out the surrounding area.
@@MyGreekLifestyle Fantastic. Efcharisto Poly
Greece is amazing. Cant go wrong with any of the small towns or islands.
You are absolutely right 🇬🇷🧿💙
I took a week to visit Greece with three days in Greece, three days in Monemvasia and just one night in Nafplio and I felt like I had to go back soon. Wish I was back there right now. An amazing time.
I love Nafplio!! This was my favourite city I’ve visited in Greece!!
I used to go to Nafplio for holidays all the time with my family and we loved it so much that we actually moved here.
One of my favorite place in Greece 🥹🥹
Mine too 🇬🇷🧿💙

Visited in 2000 and it was fantastic! Just a great little town to walk around and relax with a great atmosphere.
I was just there 2 days ago! Loved Nafplio!

This brought me back so many memories. When I went to Greece in 2018, I spent three nights in Napflio. Such an amazing town!
Well done Mark! Love your attitude and explanations, you are really explanatory and well read on the topic of Nafplio!

Nice video I like it
Beautiful couple

2:33 Walking down can be just as stressful or more so on your joints/soft tissues. Heart and lungs not so much.
Very good video and well explained. My next trip soon. Thank you!
Hope you and the fam are doing amazing!!!! Love your content! Keep up the great work!😊🙏🏼
Wow
Nice ❤
Very good.

a well timed greek video to also note and congratulate olypiacos on their uefa conference league championship today
What a timely video. Fiancée and I are getting married in Santorini and this is one of the places we’re going on our Honeymoon
Nice

Maybe also visit Nafpaktos? It is a nice town near Patras with a nice castle as well.
If you are in Greece, you can go to Ioannina, the msot beautiful city of Greece and trip to the villages.
nice ❤

I just came back from Nafplio and wonder how I could survive there without videos like this one....
What is a good hotel to stay at in Nafplio with my elderly mother? I would like a hotel close to the beach. Thanks!
Why have I never heard of this town and it sounds so amazing?
I had never heard of it either before visiting on a tour of Mycenae and Epidaurus.
Great orange joke, Mark 😁
Nicee
There's a bus from the harbour that does a return to the castle
999 steps exact^^
I spent 15 days in Nafplio years ago, and the stairs to the fortress are not to be taken lightly when it's 40 celcius ....
👍👍👍
Greece
💖💖💖👌
❤❤❤
Mark, how many countries have you visited in your life?
Drinking and driving is illegal here in the UK too
👍🏻
Are you traveling to Thessaloniki as well?
How much money does it cost you to travel to these places? Monthly? Yearly? Whats the total cost of it all
first capitol was aigina
the second capitol
You could burn calories walking up those 900 steps. 00:49
I have just uploaded a video claiming the 999 steps to the Palamidi castle. It takes around 25 min to go up.
Lols. I went there in 2004 with two women...one of which talked her way out of going to jail for a DUI.
Fisher Pike
Aegina is usualy consider the first capital of Greece, worth exploring as well. Great video btw
@@nonamekun that’s what I had read about too

You gotta do a video on Kalamata which is south of Naflpio, its a bigger city with great beaches.
What countries are on the radar next year besides Egypt and Ethiopia?
Hey Mark, after eating orange pie did your poo turn orange? 🤔
Don't bend over to tie your shoe!!!
Not safe here
???
Nafplio is one of the safest cities in the world.If you don’t know,don’t speak.
Great
Wow
Great
