the most beautiful city of greece... maybe!

nafplio is magic!

is maybe the most beautiful city of greece! its near to athens (2 hours drive), by the sea & u feel like going back in time when ur there!

nafplios was the sun of posidon +the myth sais he 1st build that city! for many years nafplio was a place hold by veneti (the italians of the 18th century), thats why nafplio reminds an old italian city!  this city was the 1st capital of greece (from 1828 to 1834). fortunatelly the capital was moved in athens & nafplio remained the same... like time stood still... beautiful buildings, little roads to walk that turn u back in time, statues of important people of the early history of modern greece remind to the visitor the glory that once the town had! the old city is so beautiful that i felt  that no picture is able to capture the beauty around me... but at least i tried!
