Venetian Vibe: Walking the Alleys of Nafplio's Old Town and the History of the First Pharmacy
Nafplio's Old Town is one of those rare places where three empires left their signature on the same handful of streets. Venetian lion reliefs share walls with Ottoman fountain inscriptions, while neoclassical facades from the Kapodistrias era line marble-paved squares that have barely changed since Greece declared its independence. This walking guide takes you through the narrow alleys where bougainvillea spills from wrought-iron balconies, past the building that housed the first pharmacy of the modern Greek state, and out to the waterfront where the Bourtzi fortress floats in the Argolic Gulf like something from a dream.
