Nafplio - beautiful former Capital of Greece!

Having researched about Nafplio also on Fodors.com forum, despite being a Greek that is (!), I thought I should give something back to the great people here that light the hidden alleys of every place!

I visited Nafplio, the former Capital of Greece two months ago. Nafplio has a unique problem. It has an obvious beauty, thrown before your very eyes, without any distractions whatsoever!

I elected to show you Nafplio's double character: A picturesque town, but also a place with remnants of its glorious past everywhere...

See this beautiful place here, at my Nafplio photo gallery: http://www.larios.gr/gallery_227077.html

The easiest (and most relaxing!) way to "travel" to Nafplio through my photos, is by downloading and watching the (free!) brief 3.5 min Nafplio photo slideshow. Find it here: http://www.larios.gr/section116382.html

*BUT* put the sound to ON. Enjoy!!!

Would appreciate any of your comments at my guestbook: http://www.larios.gr/guestbook.html

Best regards and thanks for the great insight in exploring this place!

Thank you again Yannis !
Your art is inspirational to me. We have been to Nafplio and the Mayor even tried to hit on my wife. You have made it come alive--better than my first trip there.

Thank you, very very much Yannis.
Thanks to you, we shall add Peloponnese peninsula to our list of next vacation.

I took the liberty to have a look to other photos also and enjoyed a lot.

Thank again for sharing with us these photos.

We were just in Nafplio last week, and it was really wonderful. The town itself is lovely, nice cafes, restaurants, shops, beautiful squares, a pretty waterfront. And the huge Venetian fortress that towers over the town is wonderful to explore.

We made Nafplio our base for exploring the Peloponnese for 3 days, and it worked out beautifully. There's a lot to see very close by.

The pictures are beautiful. I must show them to my husband. He has been resistant to a vacation in Greece.
If this does not convince him, he is hopeless.

Thank you for your kind comments! Really appreciated!
Nafplio is the way you all describe and more! The best I could do to convey the mood of it, was the brief photo slideshow (with music!): http://www.larios.gr/section116382.html

Download for free and enjoy!

Best regards and thanks again!
