KARATHONA BEACH

Favorite of locals, along with the natural beach of Arvanitia, Karathona turns you off from the stress of everyday life, and makes you part of an image, almost exotic, in few minutes! These are the good things of Nafplio. One minute you’re downtown, next remoteness. And what remoteness! The beauty of the city’s longest beach, stretches behind the Rock of Palamidi, a length of approximately three kilometers. In order to get there you can drive, or you can continue your walk, from Arvanitia square. When you reach the baech for the first time, with a quick view you may understand why Karathina is the locals favorite beach: palm trees, eucalyptus and the (island) Mouse, offer a characteristic specificity.

KANDIA BEACH

A neverending long beach with sand, gravel and pebbles. It’s easy to find peaceful spots here, but also very nice to stay on the part of the beach which runs parallel to the centre of Kandia. Here’s a really good fish tavern and some cafes as well as loungers with parasols. Between Kandia and Iria, see below, is Kandia’s Castle, a truly massive hotel that looks like, (you guessed it!), a castle, with luxury restaurants and thalasso therapy.
