With this private tour you will have the chance to visit one of the most beautiful Greek towns avoiding the crowds of big buses.Visit the charming seaside port of Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, with its soaring castle walls and its beautiful waterfront.This low-key harbor town was in fact the first capital of the country. Its rich past and a great position on a wide bay has made it an important port for much of its history. You can see this in the medieval walls high on Palamidi Hill above the town and in the amazing fort that sits right in the middle of the harbor, but you can also see it in the 19th-century buildings scattered around the town.

Lovely day trip from Athens to Nafplio
Dmitris was a great driver who took us to Nafplio from Athens. Though a lengthy drive each way, it is scenic and a nice break away from Athens. He was very informative as we discussed everything from Greek Mythology to present day Greek economic issues. Nafplio itself is a lively small town with quaint shops, many open air cafes along a pretty harborside....a picture perfect day. We went in early October and have had sunny pleasant weather with a cool breeze, highly recommend!

Spend more time in nafplio town
Our private drive was very pontual and explain whole history about Athens and nafplio . The only think I would change was not stop at the canal and the castle which did not get my attention
Despite that nafplio is a stunning town , wish stay there longer and enjoy the beach

A must do day trip
This tour was a highlight of our trip to Greece! Everything was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the drive was scenic and relaxing.
Nafplio was absolutely stunning—full of charm, history, and incredible views. We loved exploring the fortress, walking the picturesque streets, and enjoying some local bites by the sea. There was a great balance of guided stops and free time.
If you’re in Athens and want to see more of Greece’s beauty, this day trip is a must. Highly recommend

Day tour to Nafplio
Our driver was a great guy, on time and pleasant. Sadly, we were disappointed as there was no information, historical background or bit of helpful information shared. His role was evidently that of a driver and no more. It would have been cheaper to hire a taxi.
