When to go to Nafplio?
Marble-paved lanes, bougainvillea and Venetian shutters make Nafplio an easy town to walk slowly. Palamidi fortress waits at the top of 999 steps, the Bourtzi sits on its own islet in the bay, and Syntagma Square fills with tables at dusk. Mycenae and the great theatre of Epidaurus are both within an easy morning's drive.
