Nafplio Travel Forum

I'm trying to gather whether or not it would be realistic to see both ancient Mycenae as well as Epidaurus in one (long) day from Athens, using public transportation. There are many many guided tours that follow this path, but I'm hoping to be able to save some money and do it on my own.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Can anyone give me contact info for an overnite tour that would take us from Nafplio to Meteora and back? Thanks!!!

We will base Nafplio for two days. We will walk around in Nafplio and drive around before returning car to ATH. We may drive all the way to Mystra. Any driving TIPS? It seems that the central Peloponesse is of mountain terrian, are the roads safe, what is the usual speeding limit there?

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

thanks

hello,

the LP guidebook says buses from athens to nafplio don't really stop at mycenae, they stop at fihtio (3 km away from the village of mycenae which is in turn 2km away from ancient mycenae). if this is so, how do i get from fihtio to ancient mycenae? is there any form of public transport for this?

also, it says there are 3 buses daily from mycenae to nafplio. would anyone know what time these buses leave?

btw, is half a day enough to see ancient mycenae?

thanks a lot,
miko

I'm going to be in Nafplio in early May. I would like to see Monemvasia but don't think driving down will fit into my schedule. I was told that there is a ferry or day boat tour you can take. I contacted one company that operates this tour but was told that they won't be running yet that early in May. Does anyone have any thoughts? suggestions for what I might do? other options? Thanks!

Where is the site of the ancient Palace with King Atreus' watchtower?

Did this exist in the Bronze age, during Argaememnon and King Atreus' time? Where are those ruins?

Is there a bus from the Athen Airport to Nafplio? Our flight is scheduled to arrive at 9:45 PM on September 13. We would prefer to spend our first night in Nafplio so that we will be closer to Epiduros & Mycenae.

Are there busses we can take from Nafplio to Kalambaka and Meteora?

Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, all.

I will be asking plenty of questions on this forum, but I can't find all the answers on KTEL website. How to get from Nafplio to Epidauros? How many buses a day are there? I will be needing one around 5 or 6 p.m.

Thanks in advance:-)

What are the ferry services between Nafplion and Crete (times, fares, can they take cars)?

Hi,

We are planning a trip around the mainland of Greece this summer, and am hoping someone can help me with the following questions.

1. Is there is a bus/train from Nafplio to Olympia?
2. How long does it take to explore Olympia (we were thinking half a day)?

From Olympia, we'll head to Delphi and Meterora, back to Athens- the whole trip should take about 4 days.

Any tips/advice would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
Stacey

Does anyone know if there a ferry/dolphin/hydrofoil from Nafplio to Piraeus?We've done the journey by bus and train and I just wondered if it was possible.
This would be August time.

Thanks!

We will be in Napflion and Tolon from 13-18th April . Will there be any Palm Sunday festivities in the area?

We would like to take a daytrip out to Nafplio.

1) Is one day a bit too rushed since it seems to be some distance out?
2) How much time can we expect to spend there?
3) Are there any towns to see along the way or around that area?
4) Do buses from Athens go often to Nafplio? Is there a last bus that we should look out for when we return?

Thank you.

Hello,
I have some questions about travel from Nafplio.

Does someone know if there is a night bus( or train) from Nafplio to Meteora and Meteora to Athens?

And is there a bus from Nafplio to Olympia? Can Olympia be done as a daytrip from Nafplio?

Also, if anyone can recommend a cheap accomodation in Nafplion?

Thanks so much!

Hello!
Does anyone have experience with Pension Marianna, Pension Omorphi or Pension Dafni (this one is really not expensive...)? I will be staying for 2 days in Nafplio this October...
Also, I posted a couple weeks ago that I was planning on going to Kiparissi. Since the road is long and in bad shape, is this detour worth it or should I spend extra time in Monemvasia and Nafplio?
Thanks all! :)
