Studio Nefeli's location.:
Studio Nefeli is situated on a quite street in a quite area in the newer part of Naflio. The old town of Naflio itself is an easy flat 10 minute walk along the sea front. Nearby, less than a couple of minutes walk away, are tennis courts and the local swimming pool. There are also a variety of shops and super markets in the immediate area all within minutes of walking.
Please note.
This is fairly basic accomodation but it is very good value for money compared with what is availible in the old town of Nafplio. The two single beds are folding beds. There is space outside your door or at the top of the steps by the gate for you to put your table and chair and the owner is happy for you to do this.
Nafplio:
Naflio was the first capital of Greece and what attracts the visitor is the old medieval and neoclassical city with marble pavings, wooden balconies, bougainvilleas that overflow from walled courtyards, springs, ancient fountains, the square of Constitution with the old Turkish baths (film and stage theater today) and coffee shops.
Palamidi, the castle atop the hill, overlooks all of Nauflio. You can climb this by it's 999 steps or, if you want to take it easy, take the road around the back! Bourzti is the name of the isalnd fort in the bay and there are boat trips across running regularly (4 euros per person). On Saturdays and Wednesday there is the local produce market on one of the more major roads in Nafplio which has become quite a big market with cloths stalls and flower stalls and so. Naflio has a attractive 'town beach' which has a cafe and changing rooms
The surrounding area.:
Argolida, the area in which Nafplio lays is rich in everything. The most well know archaeological sites are all within a hours drive, Mycenae, Agommenom 'bee hive' tomb, Epidavros Amphitheater, the great Cyclopian wall of Tirins.
There are also a great variety of beaches. Some with all the pedalos, banana boats, glass bottomed boats and lilo. Others with Kite Surfing school and diving center. There also the Blue Flag award winning Carathona beach with is long stretch of sand and crytsal clear waters.
This is an agricultural area rich orange and and olive groves. Recent improvement to the roads network has made the area very accessible and within two hours of landing at the airport you can be sitting sipping your ouzo gazing up at Palamidi basking up the sun. What more could you want.
