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.

Athenians come for weekends all year, which tells you most of what you need to know.
