Coast between Monemvasia and Nafplio
Hello! During our honeymoon trip this coming October, we will see many places (Poros, Demitsana, Mani, etc.) After our 2 days in Monemvasia, we will be going towards Nafplio.
We have 2 days before returning to Poros. Should we stay two days in Nafplio or stay one night in a village on the coast? If so, where is it nice in October? Paralia Tyrou?
Thanks to all!

How I envy your time in Monemvasia! We stayed one night in Methoni.. which has interesting ruins and... a few years ago.. a restaurant where we had the best food in our trip thru Greece. We stayed in a very modest hotel.. but there is a major upscale chain (forget the name) that has a place near Methoni. I'm not looking at a map, so don't know how this fits into your schedule.

I drove this route this year and I don't remember seeing much of the coast on the drive between Monemvasia and Nafplio. We certainly enjoyed two nights in Nafplio. You will need at least two nights to visit the 3 fortresses and get to know the town.
Try Ilion studios. Great view of the ocean and beautifully decorated rooms. In May we got a suite for 50 Euro a night without reservations.

Jojonana,
We just returned from two GREAT weeks driving around Greece. We spent one night in Monemvasia and two nights in Nafplio and would highly recommend both places. In Nafplio we stayed at the Hotel Grande Bretagne (not affiliated with the one in Athens). The hotel was very nice with great views of the harbor.

Jojonana, sorry for not replying sooner. My daughter is in her last year at Collage and I can't get much time on the computer.
Hotel Ilion in Nafplio has a web site at www.Ilionhotel.gr. The pictures are primarily of the main hotel which is decorated a little outlandishly unless you like naked nymphs. We stayed in the studios which are about 50 meters from the main building. They have similar decorating but also have kitchens and balconies. I believe we were in suite 14 which had two balconies one facing the sea and the other facing one of the fortresses.
I am not sure what they might cost if you book in advance but in late May the studio was 50 Euro on a walk up basis and they took Visa.
Nafplion and Ilion were really a delight.

We stayed 2 nights in Nafplion at the Ilion Suites as well. We LOVED it! Our little apt. had a huge balcony with an amazing view. The hotel employees were lovely. We would stay nowhere else when we visit again. The town is so charming/quaint with lots of great tavernas, shops.
We went to Epidauros on our drive back to Athens. The drive was long, but Epidauros was really interesting--you can drop a coin in the center of the stage or say something, and people in the highest row will hear you perfectly.
We were there in June and enjoyed a nice day at Tolo Beach. About a 15 min. drive.
Just realized your post was sept. My info may be too late. oh well.
