For a swim on foot or by car
Using Nafplio as your base, you have at your disposal beaches that combine crystal-clear waters, easy access, and views that, in many cases, include the city's historic landscape. You can visit spots within easy walking distance, while a short drive will lead you to larger beaches along the wider coastline.
In the heart of Nafplio lies Arvanitia, a small pebble beach accessible even on foot from the Old Town.
A few minutes by car, or a beautiful walk along the coastline, leads you to Karathona, one of the most popular beaches in the area. With golden sand and shallow, clean waters, it is ideal for families and water sports.
Between Arvanitia and Karathona, you will find smaller coves, such as Neraki, which offer a quieter swimming experience with fewer crowds.
If you wish to venture beyond Nafplio, the beaches of the wider Argolis region are closer than you think: Tolo with its fine sand, the impressive Kondyli, and the beach right next to the archaeological site of Ancient Asine are ideal choices for full-day excursions.
