Nafplio
Nafplio, the jewel of the Argolic Gulf, is one of the most romantic stops on a blue cruise, featuring Venetian architecture and grand fortresses. As the first capital of modern Greece, the city serves as a prestigious hub for luxury yacht charter guests with its crystal clear waters and sheltered harbor. You can explore the historic streets under the shadow of Palamidi Castle or enjoy exquisite Mediterranean flavors at local seaside venues. With its turquoise bays and artistic atmosphere, this location is indispensable for sailors looking to blend a sea holiday with deep-rooted culture and history.

Personal Insight
Captain's Note
“"Sitting on the quay at night under the illuminated Palamidi Fortress feels like being on a film set. Keep a close eye on your charts when navigating near the Bourtzi Castle due to surrounding shallows."
