Рет қаралды 15,957
Күн бұрынNafplio, in the Peloponnese, Greece is an amazing town near Athens, located only about 90 minutes drive. These are my 11 reasons to visit!
It is a must for anyone considering a day trip from Athens, or a longer trip into the Peloponnese. A beautiful Medieval Venetian city, on the Greek coast, it is perfect for a stay of 2 or 3 days, and ideally located to visit many famous ancient sites.
30 Minutes from Mykines, 30 minutes from Epidaurus, you will pass Corinth on the way down. Argos, Kalamata, Sparta, Ancient Messini and Olympia are also within easy reach.
If you wish to HIRE A CAR to Explore Greece I suggest you use a comparison site.

Nafplio has a beautiful seaside promenade with a famous sunset, many great restaurants, independent shops, pensions and Hotels for every budget.
It comes alive at night with a vibrant community and vibe all year round, remaining open, even in the Autumn and Winter.
It is easily reached from Athens via car, or organised tour, and has many cruise ships stop to visit in the summer.

I actually went to Kyparissia but I never made a video, I didn't find anything I could really recommend - sorry. I am sure it is great, but as you know, there is no real seafront, and the town is nice, but not somewhere I felt I could recommend specifically visiting. I am happy to revisit if you can direct me as to how I should approach it.@@billmeret

What would be the best way to buy a simple apartment in Greece with a terrace and perhaps beautiful sea views?
@GreeceExplored Ай бұрын
This is not easy, it is easy to get a bad deal as a foreigner. I suggest that you 1. find an area you like, 2. Explore the area and look for developments. If you can contact and buy directly from a developer. It is best though to buy something that is completed. Try to avoid real estate agents and online sites, they are not regulated and often not very factually accurate..... 3. If you don't speak Greek, get a Greek Lawyer and Greek accountant who speak English. 4. Assume that if they can everyone will make money off you, and not necessarily make it visible to you... 5. Don't do any of it remotely... It took us years, we purchased direct from a developer, in an area we had researched and knew, and my wife speaks Greek. Sorry to be so, negative, but buyer beware in Greece, you can get a great deal, but you have to put in the work on the ground.

Hi Andrew we are going to be spending a week in the Peloponnese in August. What is Nafplio like during the August 15 holiday? Will it be a zoo or will it be quiet like Athens (i've heard everyone leaves town for festival). Would it be rude to check in/out of a hotel on the 15th? We dont want to ruin anyones day😅
@GreeceExplored 5 ай бұрын
Nafplio will be busy, it is the 15th as you say, but everywhere other than Athens will be busy (though the centre can still be too). I would not worry about the date and just enjoy, everyone likes to see holidaymakers all year round!

You want to go to Kifissos, this is the bus station for a Ktel to Nafplio, takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes usually.

How much exploring can you do on foot if you don’t have a car?
@GreeceExplored Ай бұрын
Outside Nafplio? it is harder, Tiryns is very close, like 3km, but you would need tour, or maybe a taxi for other sites like Mycenae or Epidaurus. A car is best to be honest. Argos and Lerna (Myloi) are served by public buses.

@GreeceExplored 2 ай бұрын
raid I haven't been to Volos so can't really offer an opinion. Looking at photos online they look very different for comparison. Volos looks larger, Nafplio prettier. Nafplio is fab as a base for exploring Mycenaean and Hellenic sites nearby.

@@GreeceExplored Wouldn't Kalamata be a better base for exploring that region? Kalamata looks like it has more going on.
@GreeceExplored 2 ай бұрын
@@Mongoose-ct6us not really, Kalamata is great too, for Mani, Monemvasia, Ancient Messini and Koroni, Pylos etc, but Nafplio has Epidavros, Mycenae, Corinth, Tiryns, and places like Tolo, Paralio Astros. Both are good though. The sites around Nafplio are closer to Nafplio.
