Vacation in Nafplion, Greece
Reviews > Europe > Greece > Nafplion > Vacation in Nafplion
The starting and central point of our vacation was Nafplion. Our trips to Argos and Mykene were only daytrips, we always came back. We usually want to daytrips with a car or a motorbike we rented, it was easy to get anywhere that way.
Nafplion is a little busy, but you can always find some nice, narrow streets that are completely 'touristless'. You can take walks to the port and take a boat tour near the coast, it's 4 Euros per person and the view is beautiful.
There is also a castle that you can visit, it's very well maintained. You can get there climbing a lot of stairs, so you will need good shoes and light clothes!

Chalkida History
When the Romans took over Chalkida, the city had once again gained some mercantile affluence. In the 6th century, Chalkida was used as a fortress to defend central Greece from some northern aggressors. Venetian rulers occupied the place starting in the year 1209 and it was handed over to the Ottoman rule in 1470. In 1688, Chalkida was successful in the defense against Venetian aggressions on the city.

In 1904, the city was able to develop its trade with overseas cities and towns because of the construction of... Read more »
