Leave the busy capital of Athens for Nafplio, a calmer seaside gem of Venetian elegance. Get those envious bird's eye views from the imposing Palamidi Fortress, wander through streets draped in colorful bougainvilleas, and discover hidden squares filled with neoclassical mansions. Or, take to the seaside at one of the many pristine beaches. Neraki Beach, Tolo Beach, and Paralia Arvanitias are among the most popular ocean-side destinations for travelers and locals alike. Be sure to indulge in some of the area's remarkable fresh seafood during your visit.
