Napflio is a beautiful renaissance-era town with a long history of importance to the Greeks. It is said to be one of the prettiest towns in Greece and I do think it is. Easily walkable, packed with good small restaurants and cafes, lovely squares, waterfront walks along the bay, and high quality shops. There is are three medieval castles guarding the town adding to the atmosphere. Easy to get to the major ruins of Mycenae, Epidaurus and close to small but evocative ruins like Tiryn's Cyclopean-walled castle. All in all, a terrific place to spend a few days. A good base for the Peloponnese.

We stayed mostly in old town, which is beautiful. The ruins of Acronafplia are mysterious and open all day and night. Nafplio itself is a great place to relax and just take in the food, people, and scenery. It is an excellent base for touring part of the Peloponnese. If you're interested in the ancient sites, there are dozens in the area. It is also an excellent wine region. My advice is to rent a car and set up a base in Nafplio to explore. We stayed at Acronafplia pension on the hill, which was absolutely perfect for us as we were halfway between the beaches, the fortresses and the town. We opted for breakfast at our hotel which allowed us to get a nice leisurely start to the day.

Great city for a relaxing weekend, or as a base to explore the peloponnese, Old pebble streets, full of shops and restaurants, Nafplio castle Palamidi impressive buildings, very Greek atmosphere, fewer foreign tourists than in other islands around. Very active in the evening, coffee shops, bars, tavernas with live music

What a wonderful small town with so much to offer! We ended up there 3 times as we toured the Peloponnese. It has something for everyone. Great restaurants, good shopping, beautiful old city with classic buildings, narrow picturesque streets with stretches of steps, beautiful plazas, churches, museums, an amazing fortress to explore, and even a nice full service swimming area in town! It's a central location for exploring historical sites as well.

Nafplio is a quaint seaside town with lots of great tavernas and small shops. Ideal for evening strolls and good food. It is a great base to explore the Peloponnese reagion as it is close to many archeological sites and to Tolo from where you can take daily trips to the islands of Hydra and Spetses.

Koroni is a beautiful seaside town with many taverns and cafes. It is situated on the southeast coast of the first of the three Peloponnese peninsulas. Zaga Beach is a very pretty spot with a restaurant right next door. Our favorite tavern was Bogris, in town opposite the high school. It is very easy to travel around the peninsula to many towns and tourist sites as well as back to Kalamata. Time is not an issue as all towns are within close proximity of each other and roads are pretty good compared to some Greek roads. Koroni itself is a little difficult getting around if you are not fit; many steep roads with many steps.

We wanted to explore somewhere off the beaten path in January, and to do some hiking. Dimitsana was very quiet. The position of the town is breathtaking and we felt very lucky that the town we'd picked to stay in happened by far to be the nicest we'd seen since winding our way through the Peloponnese from Athens. There was rain, fog and snow some of the time (mid Jan), none of which took anything away from the amazing atmosphere of Dimitsana, the hills or the gorge. We felt like we were suspended in the air, sometimes above clouds, hanging over the Louisos Gorge. We only stayed one night and spent the next day visiting the incredible Prodromos and Philosophou monasteries. Hadn't seen anything like that before. For active visitors interested in something extra besides than beaches and historic sites Dimitsana well repays the drive from Tripoli. The roads are good, but quite steep and windy. Perfect if you like that kind of thing. Plenty of nice places to eat, we enjoyed the Drimonas taverna, on the way out of Dimitsana after the Piraeus Bank. Wish we had longer to enjoy hiking the mountain trails.

Loved the old town with the cobbled, pedestrian streets, beautiful buildings, quaint staircases, orange trees, fountains, Staikopoulou Street and Syntagma/Sidagmatos Square. Wonderful assortment of tavernas tucked along the narrow lanes or facing the harbour. One of the prettiest towns in the Peloponnese.

Tolo is a fab holiday location which is ideal as a base for exploring the Peloponnese including the old capital Napflio, Epidavros, Olympia and the islands Pros, Hydra and Sorted. There are many beach tavernas that serve food. I loved eating at the Barbarressa. The Greek night at the Aris Hotel was excellent with live music and dancing.

Nafplio is a pleasant town with lots of interesting independent shops in the small streets and alleyways that make up the pretty old town. It is quite touristy and small cruise ships dock in the harbour so even in early October it was quite crowded on Sunday though much quieter on Monday. It's an easy place to wander around with loads of cafés, restaurants and (unusually for Greece) ice cream shops. It has quite a cosmopolitan feel. Palamidi Castle towers over the town and it's well worth the 900 or so step climb to the castle to see the views! We also visited the Folklore museum which is a charming snapshot of ages past. At €2 per person it's a bargain! If you're looking for a place to mooch and eat for a couple of days, Nafplio is a good choice but if you're wanting to get a feel of the authentic Peloponnese go elsewhere.
