Seasonal flavours, warm settings & festive charm in every bite.

As December draws near, Nafplio begins to glow with soft lights, festive energy and the promise of cozy winter days by the sea. And while the historic town is known for its picturesque views and neoclassical charm, it’s also a place that knows how to celebrate with food.

Whether you're planning a holiday break with family, a romantic winter escape, or just a long weekend to recharge before the year ends, Christmas in Nafplio offers a rich and tasteful experience — quite literally. From elegant restaurants with curated holiday menus to traditional tavernas full of local colour and warmth, the town invites you to celebrate with flavour.

Dining Out for the Holidays

During the Christmas and New Year season, several restaurants in the Old Town and port area create festive menus for the occasion. You’ll find multi-course dinners with creative takes on Greek and Mediterranean classics, using seasonal ingredients and local wine pairings.

• 3Sixty Grill & Wine Bar, a fine-dining favorite, offers one of the most refined Christmas experiences with a gala menu that changes yearly. Expect elegant meat and fish dishes, festive desserts, and a curated wine list.
• Liberty Viewoverlooking the port, is another spot offering a warm holiday atmosphere with beautifully plated mains and winter cocktails.

For something more relaxed, small tavernas in the old alleyways and surrounding villages serve classic Greek holiday fare: pork dishes, oven-baked lamb, festive sweets like melomakarona and kourabiedes, and, of course, warm tsipouro or mulled wine. Stay Nafplio's team can suggest the best choice for your flavours.
