Nafplion is a favourite holiday destination for hot and bothered Athenians, and no wonder because it is not only a lovely city, but exudes a cool and relaxed atmosphere soothing to busy locals and foreign tourists alike. Nafplion was capital of the Greek state from 1828 to 1834 after the war of independence, although its history is modern compared to the rest of Greece, and particularly the Peloponnese.Nafplion is an adored holiday spot for its charm alone; it gets by without any classical ruins, but the town is home to picturesque streets overhung with wooden balconies cascading with bright flowers. Some lively outdoor cafés and fascinating churches and mosques add to the atmosphere. Nafplion is also popular as a port of call for cruises in the Greek islands.
