Nafplio Tours, Tickets & Things to Do
Wondering what to do in Nafplio? The town itself takes half a day — the Venetian old town, Syntagma Square and the climb to Palamidi fortress, best done with a guided walk (€70–€100) or an archaeologist-led tour (€75). Everything else radiates outwards. Mycenae and Epidaurus, two UNESCO sites within half an hour, are the classic pairing: shared half-day tours cost about €80, full days adding Ancient Corinth and the canal €155–€200. The Nemea vineyards 40 minutes away pour Greece's best reds — tastings from €80, private wine days €130. On the water, sailing and catamaran cruises around the Argolic Gulf run €90–€106 with a meal, sea kayaking past the medieval castles €80, and the Hydra day trip €39 upwards. Food tours and cooking classes cost €59–€150. Give Nafplio two or three days: one for the town, one or two for the Argolid. Compare every Nafplio tour and day trip below by rating and price.
