A very beautiful and picturesque settlement, Nafplio is located in the southwest side of the Peloponnese and is famous for being the first capital of Modern Greece. The city has actually a very long recorded history, since it's first mentioned in a funerary inscription of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III of Egypt, almost 3300 years ago. Nowadays, it's a popular tourist destination, famous for its narrow alleys and its Venetian castle, called Palamidi that dominates its skyline. It's also associated to some of the darkest moments of Modern Greek history. It was here that the first governor of modern Greece, John Kapodistrias, was assassinated and it was also here where Theodoros Kolokotronis, the leader of the Greeks during the Greek war of independence, was incarcerated. As a friendly and easy going person, who is specialized in modern Greek history, this tour is ideal for me in order to transmit you my knowledge of the region!
