Nafplio with Kids: The Best Family Itinerary
A castle on an island, a beach within cycling distance and a gate with lions carved over it — Nafplio is an unusually easy Greek town with children. Here is the family plan, with the tours that suit it.
At a glance
- 1Boat to the Bourtzi
- 2Karathona beach
- 3Lion Gate at Mycenae
- 4Ice cream on Syntagma
Start on the water
The short boat out to the Bourtzi is five minutes and makes the whole town make sense from the sea.
Beach in the afternoon
Karathona is a flat cycle or short drive away, shallow and sandy; Arvanitia is closer but pebbled.
One ancient site, not three
Mycenae with its Lion Gate and beehive tomb holds children’s attention far better than a museum. Go early.
