Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf.

Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.According to mythology; it was built by Nafplios, the son of Poseidon and Amumonis, the daughter of Europe and Egelados.

The city’s culture goes way back when Nafplio participated in the Argonautic expedition and in the Trojan War. Acronauplia is the oldest part of the city though a modern hotel has been built on it. Until the thirteenth century, it was a town on its own. The arrival of the Venetians and the Franks transformed it into part of the town fortifications. Other fortifications of the city include the Palamidi and Bourtzi, which is located in the middle of the harbour. Ancient walls, monuments, statues and sculptures and architectural masterpieces adorn the whole city.

Nafplio maintains a traditional architectural style with many traditional-style colourful buildings and houses, partly influenced by the Venetians, because of the domination of 1338-1540. Also, modern-era neoclassical buildings are also preserved, while the building of the National Bank of Greece is an example of Mycenaean Revival architecture.
