### Plan Your Stops Decide which stops you’d like to explore and add them to your trip. A recommended stop is at the Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering and views. Further along, consider visiting the ancient ruins of Mycenae and Tiryns, both rich in history and culture. ### Comfort on the Road Pack essentials such as sunblock, sunglasses, and comfortable clothing to accommodate the warm Greek climate. Bring along pillows for rest in the car, and prepare entertainment like playlists or audiobooks, especially if traveling with children. Regular breaks are essential for stretching and maintaining focus on the road. ### Navigating Nafplio Nafplio's charm is best explored on foot. The city's narrow, picturesque streets and historic landmarks, like the Palamidi Fortress and Bourtzi Castle, are accessible and enjoyable without a car. If you want to venture further, consider renting bikes to explore the surrounding area.

### Athens to Nafplio by rental car Driving to Nafplio from Athens takes around two hours. The most common route is via the A8 and A7 motorways, passing through the Corinth Canal. You can explore at your own pace, and make stops along the way. Be prepared for toll roads along the way. Once you get to Nafplio, you'll find the narrow streets difficult to navigate and parking limited. And, you likely won't be using your car to get around town. ### Athens to Nafplio by bus Getting to Nafplio by bus takes two to two and a half hours. KTEL buses run frequent services from Athens’ Kifissos Bus Station to Nafplio. Check KTEL Argolidas for recent schedules. It is a cost-effective and direct option, without the need for transfers. But it offers less flexibility, and you'll need to get to and from bus stations which adds extra time to your trip. ### Athens to Nafplio by train There is no direct train service from Athens to Nafplio. You can take a train to Corinth and then switch to a bus for the remainder of the journey. You would spend two hours on the train to Corinth, plus additional time for the bus transfer to Nafplio. Keep in mind that it requires a transfer and good timing. In general, it's better to just take the direct bus if you're on a budget. ### Athens to Nafplio by private car Go for a door-to-door private car service for the calmest, most direct, and most convenient trip. Since you don't need to figure out public transportation, or even handle your own luggage, it's especially nice if you are traveling in a group, or with lots of bags. Enjoy the tips your local driver gives you about Nafplio and about the stops you’ll take along the way as well as useful information about where to eat. And, unlike any of the other options, Daytrip's optional sightseeing stops give you the chance to experience even more of Greece!

### Get to the top of Palamidi Castle Tour around the Venetian-built Palamidi Castle, which is perched atop a hill, for breathtaking views of Nafplio and the Argolic Gulf. The fortress is a testament to Nafplio's strategic historical importance. If you're not up for a challenging climb up its famous 999 steps, you can reach the top by car. Keep your camera ready for some pictures with the best possible backdrop. ### Don’t skip the Bourtzi Castle Get to Bourtzi Castle by a short, scenic boat ride. This fortress once served as a prison and a defense point against invaders. Now, it is a perfect spot to stand and enjoy a moment of tranquility amongst the waves. ### Walk the streets of the Old Town Nafplio's Old Town is an enchanting maze of narrow streets, neoclassical buildings, and hidden squares. Stroll the narrow streets and alleys, admire the well-preserved architecture, browse local boutiques, and feel the town's rich history come alive. ### Take as many bites of Greek food as possible No visit to Nafplio would be complete without indulging in its great selection of Greek cuisine. Local tavernas serve up traditional Greek dishes, with fresh seafood being a highlight. If you have a sweet tooth, the town's gelaterias have a delightful variety of flavors to enjoy as you wander. As a small tip, reserve your table at 3 Sixty for a grill and wine evening.

During these times, you’ll also be enjoying local festivals and events thanks to which you’ll gain a deeper insight into the modern Greek culture and the traditions of the region. Avoiding the peak tourist season also means more accommodation options and better rates.
