Nafplio

Nafplio is a beautiful little port, located below a rocky headland crowned by a Venetian fortress. The Arcadian mountains provided a perfect backdrop for a glorious sunrise as we made our way into the harbor. The harbor entrance is guarded by the Bourtzi, another Venetian fortress. The town is a charming tumble of whitewashed and pastel buildings, interesting shops and restaurants, a beautiful promenade along the water, and lovely views from the fortress.
