Fernwayer’s Nafplio Tours

Once the first capital of modern Greece, Nafplio weaves history with effortless grace. Beyond its Venetian fortresses and neoclassical mansions, the town opens a door to a Peloponnese rich in flavors, myths, and crafts. Here, the scent of olive groves mingles with sea breezes, ancient theaters whisper forgotten stories, and tradition still guides everyday life — not out of nostalgia, but habit. Our Nafplio experiences let you discover a place where beauty endures and every story leaves a trace.

Nafplio City Tour: Explore Living Traditions in Nafplio

In Nafplio, tradition is something you learn by doing. Join an artisan in a hands-on workshop and shape clay, continuing a craft that dates back to ancient Greece. Sit with a local craftsman to thread a komboloi — the string of worry beads found in every Greek pocket — and discover the meaning behind this everyday object while visiting the world’s only komboloi museum. Get to grips with the basics of the Greek language — not just a tool for communication, but a way to connect more deeply and interact with the local community. Then take your first steps into traditional Greek dance, a vital expression of collective identity and a living part of every celebration.

Day Trips from Nafplio: Farm Life and Local Harvests

The fertile lands surrounding Nafplio are home to generations of farmers who nurture Greece’s most precious gifts. Step into an authentic farmhouse in Lyrkeia, where olive oil is pressed with ancient wisdom and every table tells a story of the earth. In Argolida, follow the golden journey of Greek honey from hive to jar, guided by local beekeepers who master the art of honey.

Greek Wines and Myths: A Journey through Nemea

The vineyards of Nemea stretch across the hills, carrying legends as old as Greece itself. Wander among vines rooted in myth and history, and taste the depth of Greek wines shaped by centuries of craftsmanship. From the bold reds of Nemea to the aged treasures uncorked in Nafplio’s historic cellars, each sip reveals a story — of gods, heroes, and the timeless art of celebration.

Nafplio Walking Tour & Greek Theater Experiences: Between Archaeology and Drama

At Epidaurus, you'll visit the archaeological site — one of the biggest Nafplio attractions — where you'll learn how theatre was once tied to healing. You will either watch a live performance during the summer festival or take part in an experience that explores the techniques of ancient drama. Walking the steps of Acronafplia, you will breathe history, practice mindfulness as a way to reconnect with nature and the self, and enjoy open views of the sea. In nearby Mycenae, uncover the myth of the Atreides and step inside the ancient citadel that shaped epic tales. Between awe-inspiring ruins and serene landscapes, Nafplio’s surroundings offer a journey into the origins of performance and ritual.
