Nafplio, Greece's first capital, stands out for its striking blend of Greek characteristics and Venetian influences, and kimkim's preferred hotels capture that charming sense of history. For example, Ippoliti Hotel offers cozy and atmospheric rooms in a 19th-century neoclassical mansion in the center of the colorful Old Town, and its small pool is an extra perk in the summer.
For a more modern stay, Carpe Diem has contemporary rooms with local artwork and views of landmarks like the Palamidi Fortress. If you're looking for a hybrid of the historic and modern, consider 3Sixty Hotel & Suites, which combines original neoclassical elements like iron-wrought balconies with a more contemporary design to create a space of warm comfort just off the old harbor.
Stay inside a historical mansion or hip design suites within the pedestrian-friendly center, or head into the countryside for a hands-on farm-stay amid the olive trees as you explore this Peloponnesian destination.
