Nafplio (Greek: Ναύπλιο) is a coastal city located in the Peloponnese in Greece that is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis and an important touristic destination. Founded in antiquity, the city became an important seaport in the Middle Ages during the Frankokratia as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The city was the second capital of the First Hellenic Republic and the Kingdom of Greece, from 1827 until 1834
Greece has many islands, with estimates ranging from somewhere around 1,200 to 6,000, depending on the minimum size to take into account. The number of inhabited islands is variously cited as between 166 and 227.The largest Greek island by area is Crete, located at the southern edge of the Aegean Sea. The second largest island is Euboea or Evvia, which is separated from the mainland by the 60m-wide Euripus Strait, and is administered as part of the Central Greece region. After the third and fourth largest Greek islands, Lesbos and Rhodes, the rest of the islands are two-thirds of the area of Rhodes, or smaller.
Persönliche und herzliche Tour – Mira ist ein Juwel!
Wir haben mit GrecoPaths wunderbare Tage im Peloponnes verbracht und können das Team uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Die Touren sind hervorragend organisiert und bieten eine perfekte Mischung aus Abenteuer und Kultur. Über drei Tage hinweg haben wir verschiedene Aktivitäten gebucht: eine aufregende Schatzsuche für unsere Kinder, einen authentischen Besuch auf einem Bauernhof und in einer Töpferei, sowie eine faszinierende Führung durch Epidauros. Jedes einzelne Erlebnis war ein Highlight und hat uns Land und Leute auf eine sehr persönliche Weise nähergebracht. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Freundlichkeit von Mira, unserer deutschsprachigen Reiseleiterin! Mira hat unsere Touren zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht. Sie ist sehr kompetent und freundlich. Die Zeit mit ihr fühlte sich für uns sehr persönlich und entspannt an. Vielen Dank an das gesamte GrecoPaths-Team, dass Sie unsere Familienreise so bereichert haben!

Authentic, local experience!
This is a must do tour if you would like a little exercise and a true local experience!! We got our bikes then explored the town and learned some of the local history. Afterwards she took us to a local home where we enjoyed coffee, tea and snacks with a very lovely "grandma" of the neighborhood at her home! We continued our journey to the coastline where we enjoyed a small picnic with some more delicious local foods. Once back from the coast we stopped in at local market for fresh fruit and juice. If you want a truly authentic and local experience, this is the tour for you!! They are able to customize it for different interests and physical levels and are wonderful to work with. They have several other tours as well if you don't want to do cycling!!

Highly recommend tour
The tour of Nafplio with our guide Vasilis gave us a perfect invite to the history of the town, and we saw many areas and places of interest that we would have missed without him. We met at 9 am outside our hotel in Nafplio old town and finished some 3 hours later in the old square . Vasilis is an excellent guide. We very much enjoyed his company and appreciated his knowledge. We would highly recommend anyone to take a tour with him .

Grecopaths creates a unique tour for people wanting to have a real Greek experience
I and my family have travelled with Grecopaths on three different trips to Greece. The first was based in the Napflio area where we were treated to a wonderful food and coffee tour at the beginning of our 1st time with them. We also visited a honey farm, joined a family at their vineyard, where we learned about Greek wines. The visit to Epodaurus and Mycenae rounded off a wonderful, well planned trip. Our tour guide, Stavroula is the best. She speaks fluent English and is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend workin with Grecopaths if you want a unique exposure to Greece.

A very good taste of mountain village life in the Peloponnese!
Our 3-generation family of three — 85 year-old, 60-year-old, 25-year old—had a great time at this cooking class in a small mountain village. If you’re an experienced cook don’t expect to learn anything new, but that won’t stop you from having fun while making good dishes with women who have been cooking them all their lives. Our guide Mira was truly top-notch and helped ensure a top-notch experience for all of us.

An amazing adventure!
Getting to meet some wonderful people in a secluded Greek village, had been one of the best trips that we could have ever chosen! We learnt how to cook the greek way and everyone was amazingly fun, kind and wonderful at the same time. What an experience, a 1000% recommend it!!!

Fabulous cooking class and trip to the mountain village!
Wonderful day with guide Mira and the rest of the GrecoPaths group! We (my family) were driven by Mira up to a mountain village and enjoyed meeting other members of the GrecoPaths staff, including Stavroula. We spent a little time with them, and then the first chef instructed us on making stuffed vegetables and tzatziki in the kitchen of a small taverna. Atfer that, we walked over to a local woman's home where she and her sister helped us make a cheese tiropita. We learned about using local ingredients, sampled local herbal mountain tea, took a walk in the woods above the village to see the views, and at the end, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch including what we had made and a variety of other dishes including grilled lamb chops. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, as well as informative. Very glad we decided to include this day in our trip! (Note that transportation is a separate charge, but we found it was well worth it.)

Slow Life in the Mountains
The hour we spent in Karia with an older couple chatting with them about their life, family, village, etc. over coffee and spoon sweets on their porch in the rain was terrific. Made us want to learn the art of spoon sweets when we arrived back home. Lunch in a local tavern on the village square, the preparation in which we participated, was a tasty departure from our other experiences. Thank you Stavroula and your terrific team!

Nafplio mountain village cooking experience
High quality, unique, personalized and authentic experience for our two families with adults and 5 kids. We were welcomed personally by the owner and our guide and every detail was delivered with care including several surprises as we visited over the New Year’s Holiday. We did the traditional cooking class in a small mountain village of about 80 residents. The views were incredible and we got to cook in the actual kitchen of a small restaurant. In addition to sampling the fresh mountain water, we drank tea from mountain herbs with local honey and then conducted our cooking class experience. After preparing several dishes and leaving them to bake, we walked to another family’s home/farm. There we prepared another dish in their backyard and it was cooked in a traditional outdoor brick oven that was 200+ years old. The hospitality of the local families was fantastic and our families enjoyed this tour “off the beaten path” of the crowded tourist destinations so much. Our guides were also top notch. It’s worth it - book with Greco Paths!
