Private 3-Hour Nafplion Walking Tour

Your licensed guide will meet you at the tender pier to begin your journey through Nafplion, Greece’s first modern capital.
Start with a walk along the old fortifications and Land Gate, where Venetian lions still watch over the city. Wander through cobblestone streets filled with colorful neoclassical mansions, statues of historic figures, and elegant squares that tell the story of Greece’s path to independence.
Continue to Syntagma Square, where Turkish baths, marble paving, and striking neoclassical buildings set the scene. Visit the Archaeological Museum, home to remarkable collections including pottery, Mycenaean tools, and the world’s oldest well-preserved Mycenaean armor from the 15th century BC.
Your tour also includes a visit to the Komboloi Museum, dedicated to Greece’s famous worry beads. Learn about their origin, craftsmanship, and symbolism, and admire unique pieces made from stones, glass, and amber.
To round off the experience, stop at a traditional liquor store. Surrounded by shelves of Greek wines, ouzo, and spirits, enjoy a tasting while learning about the country’s rich winemaking and distilling traditions.
At the end of the tour, you may walk back to the port with your guide or continue exploring Nafplion on your own, with recommendations for dining, shopping, or relaxing.
