Day trips · Argolis

Nafplio

The first capital of Greece, from 1829 until Otto moved the seat to Athens in 1834, with an old town below three fortifications: Palamidi, the last major Venetian overseas construction, taken by Greek forces in November 1822; Acronauplia, whose walls run back to pre-classical times; and the Bourtzi islet in the harbour. Buses from Athens take about two to two hours twenty, via Corinth and Argos. It works better as an overnight base for the Argolid than as a same-day return.
