Regarded as Greece's prettiest mainland town, Nauplion was the country's capital for a short while. Today it's a beautifully untarnished town, replete with stunning waterfront, winding lanes, palm-studded squares, flower-bedecked tavernas, cute shops and fading Venetian mansions. But its Nauplion's archeological jewels that lure most people into holidays here. As well as the mighty, rock-perched fortress of Palamidi, the town boasts romantic churches, harbour fortifications and in the bay, another honey-stoned castle – creating a treasure trove for sightseers.
