Family-Friendly Activities Around Nafpliο
Nafplio isn’t just a romantic escape — it’s also a wonderful destination for families. With its safe, walkable streets, historical sites that feel like storybooks, and easy access to beaches and nature, it offers countless ways for children (and parents!) to enjoy and explore.
At Stay Nafplio, we welcome families in spacious, thoughtfully designed apartments and villas that feel like a home away from home. Here are some of our favorite family-friendly things to do nearby:
1. Explore the Palamidi Fortress
This historic hilltop castle is a hit with kids. Climb the steps (or drive up) and explore the walls, tunnels, and incredible views over the town and sea. It's a great mix of adventure and history.
2. Relax at Karathona Beach
Just a few minutes from Nafplio, this long sandy beach has shallow waters, beach bars, and lots of space to play. Ideal for young children and safe swimming.
3. Take a boat ride to Bourtzi
The small Venetian fortress on the island in Nafplio’s harbor can be reached by a short boat ride — exciting for little ones and a great photo opportunity.
4. Visit the Komboloi Museum
Small but fascinating, this museum of worry beads introduces children to a unique part of Greek culture. It’s interactive and fun to walk through.
5. Ride the train at the Nafplio Park
In the municipal park near the port, there’s a mini train and playground — perfect for a break between sightseeing.
6. Ice Cream & Strolling in the Old Town
Wandering Nafplio’s alleys with an ice cream in hand is a simple pleasure. The town is flat and pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to explore with strollers or young children.
Bonus Tip: Many of our properties include kitchens, so families can enjoy meals in, prepare snacks, or have breakfast at their own pace. Ask us about kid-friendly features like cribs or high chairs!
