Nafplion sits gloriously on the edge of the Peloponnese, facing the Argolic gulf, with a scintillating sight that will please your senses beyond imagination. It is a beautiful town in Greece that showcases rich history, vibrant colors, and interesting culture. A visit to Nafplion is a time travel back to ancient political civilization, prisons and fortresses, and ancient scenery. History lovers will be awed as they take in the castles and buildings, and hear the stories behind their existence. Even if you aren't big on history, you will have a swell time exploring the beautiful scenery.

The first thing you must see when sailing in Nafplion is the fortress of Palamidi. The castle sits at a unique distance of 999 steps away from the town of Nafplion. It was mostly built by the talented hands of the Venetians, although they did not complete the entire project.  According to urban legend, the steps were actually 1000. The horse belonging to Theodoros Kolokotronis, a Greek warrior, destroyed the 1000th step in a show of power on the day of liberation. However, those who have counted say that the steps are 916. From the building's top, you can look downwards and admire the beauty of the land below. You can even see the town center and Bourtzi castle, and take in the magnificent views of the Argolic sea. The labyrinth alleys have a romantic feel to them, and you can get a feel of how life was in the previous ages by walking through these areas. Take a walk through the Old Town of Nafplion between your yacht charter trip. Here you can take in the colors and relax in the atmosphere. Don’t assume that there is nothing to it just because it's called the old town. Nafplion is one of the loveliest cities in Greece, and it has a history to go with its beauty. Nafplion was where the first Greek constitution was written and the location that housed the first Greek parliament. The scenery and colors speak of the Venetian domination of the 1700s. From the classical mansions to the stone-paved alleyways, you can explore the historical city that used to be the very heart of Greece.

A yacht ride from Nafplion will reach the castle of Bourtzi, which sits opposite it.  For prisoners, it was a place of isolation and even executions. During times of war, the castle offered protection. A visit to the islet/castle of Bourtzi might not be all you've heard about it, but it is an experience that you should not miss. You can also enjoy a day cruise to Tolo, an outright holiday spot offering a range of activities right by the coast. Across the harbor of Tolo, you will find the beaches of Dskalio, Koronisi, and Romvi, known for their crystal-clear waters. With a motor yacht, you can spend a two-day cruise and reach Porto Heli and Spetses.

You can combine your yacht charter in the Argolic Gulf with the Argo-Saronic islands. By hiring a yacht for a week,  you can cruise to Hydra, Spetses, Poros, and finally, make your way to Aegina and Athens. There are many reasons why you should rent a yacht in Nafplion and take a tour of the destination. Museums, fortresses, mansions, and the like all create romantic scenery. The waters of Nafplion are also very calm, with a protected port that has water and electricity.
