Greece - Nafplion

According to mythology, Nafplion was founded by Nafplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus Anymone. The town’s history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War alike. The town declined during the Roman times and flourished again during the Byzantine times. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in the town and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions during the centuries.

After Greek War of Independence, Nafplion became the first Greek capital in 1829. Nafplion remained the capital of the kingdom until 1834, when King Otto decided to move the capital to Athens.

Nowadays Nafplion is considered being one of the most beautiful cities in Greece. It offers magnificent neoclassical buildings, large squares, pretty flower-decorated shopping streets along with the harbour and imposing forts and castles.
