Nearby towns and attractions
The homes are a few kilometers from Nafplio, a lovely port
city on the northeast coast of the Peloponnesian in southern
Greece. Originally the capital city, it has a central plaza
built by the Venetians and wonderful waterfront parks, sidewalk
cafes and charming shops. The Palimidi, a fortress dating
from 1700 and site of clashes between the Venetians and the
Ottomans, crowns the hill overlooking the town.
In another direction, the homes are one-half hour by car to
the ancient ruins of Epidaurus, Myceane, Tiryns and Assini.
During the summer, Epidaurus is the site of a classic Greek
theater program. There are lovely beaches every place you
turn. Barrel wine is 2 euros per liter and fresh fish, olives
and feta are abundant. Nearby villages offer waterfront fish
tavernas and lamb any way you like it. Those who like fast
food can happily settle for pizzas and cheese and spinach
pies.
A few hours away are the historical cities of Sparta, Tripoli,
Kalamata, Corinth, Delphi and Monemvasia.
