Stay in Nafplio
The Courtyard apartment provides a charming and comfortable home-away-from home in the old town of Nafplio. It is located on a quiet side street and occupies the ground floor of a renovated 19th century building. The apartment is well-equipped and tastefully decorated, providing modern day comforts.
Upon entering the building, there is a small hallway that leads to the Courtyard apartment and the upstairs Sotira apartment, which is owned by the same owner. The apartment features a small living room with a TV and a hallway that leads to the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and dining area. The inner courtyard with flower and herb beds is accessible from the kitchen and dining area and offers a peaceful oasis for reading, dining, and relaxing.
The apartment is equipped with both air conditioning and heating for comfort throughout the year. There is one step to enter the building and another step up from the hallway/dining area to the kitchen. The location of the apartment is convenient, with several restaurants located in the alley and a supermarket and public waterfront parking only six minutes by foot away.
The Courtyard apartment is an excellent option for anyone looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay in Nafplio's old town.

Nafplio, Greece - Nafplio, Home of Courtyard
Nafplio, a seaside town with a population of 12,000, is located only 2 hours south of Athens on the Peloponnesian Peninsula. Many consider it Greece’s prettiest town. Nestled on a quiet bay, Nafplio makes a perfect base for exploring some of the most historic and scenic sections of Greece.
Nafplio itself has many restaurants and cafés, a wide variety of shops, several food stores including a convenient supermarket, an Internet café, and ATMs. It also has a prize-winning museum of Peloponnesian folk art and an archaeological museum. The Palamidi, a huge eighteenth-century fortress built by the Venetians, towers over the town and offers incredible views of the town, bay, and surroundings. Another fortress, a former prison, sits on an island in the bay just a few minutes by boat from Nafplio’s harbor.
Nearby daytrips from Nafplio include ancient ruins at Mycenae, Epidaurus, Tiryns, and Corinth. Longer excursions from Nafplio include Olympia, Mystras, Monemvasia, the island of Hydra, and even Athens.
Making Nafplio your home base creates a wonderful daily dilemma: to relax on a Nafplio beach or in a seaside café or to explore fascinating sites further afield.

Reviews
Here's what our guests have to say
Cathrin Baumbach (UnTours staff)
I loved this apartment and the wonderful hostess Maria. I didn't spend any time in the small living room, but enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen/ dining area and especially the inner courtyard. It was not quite warm enough in February to spend meaningful time out there, but I imagine it will be a fabulous area for relaxing, reading and dining in warmer months.
