In an awe-inspiring setting, Nafplia Palace Hotel & Villas sits within the ancient fortress of Akronafplia, above the historic town of Nafplion, with delightful views across the bay. Surrounded by three World Heritage sites, paradoxically the hotel is a sophisticated and modern sanctuary with an ultra-chic spa, a wonderful choice of restaurants, and a stylish bar.

The exterior stonework blends well with its ancient surrounds, while inside stone and white walls harmonize with wood flooring in spacious rooms, suites and villas. Each of the 63 rooms, villas and 21 suites have balconies and sea views. They are imaginative spaces interacting with the dramatic ever-changing panorama. Tables elegantly set for a gourmet extravaganza. Within the hotel's walls, you feel cared for and cared about; it is a refuge from the ordinary. Quality is written in every detail; the options legion. The ancient Greek ethic of perfection lives!

If you have the energy, head up the 999 steps to Fort Palamidi, then return to Arvanita beach and enjoy a well-deserved drink at the beach bar. In the evening, dine in Amimoni for Italian gourmet cuisine and admire the views through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
