Designed especially for guests arriving at Nafplion Port, this refined walking experience offers an intimate introduction to one of Greece’s most elegant seaside towns through its history, culture, and authentic culinary traditions.

Your experience begins with a leisurely stroll into Nafplio’s atmospheric Old Town, where narrow marble-paved streets, neoclassical mansions, and hidden squares reflect centuries of Venetian and Ottoman influence. Accompanied by your knowledgeable local guide, discover the stories that shaped Greece’s first modern capital while enjoying a relaxed pace ideal for exploration on foot.

During the walk, you will visit a carefully selected local delicatessen for a privately arranged tasting experience highlighting the flavors of the Peloponnese.

The experience concludes on a sweet note with homemade artisanal ice cream prepared using fresh seasonal ingredients — a simple yet authentic pleasure enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

At the end of the tour, your guide will accompany you back toward the harbor area, where you may choose either to return directly to your ship or remain in town for independent exploration before making your easy walk back to the port.
