Nafplio is beautiful from its Old Town streets, but some of the best corners of the Argolic Gulf can only be reached by sea. Here are the places our cruises visit, in the order you’ll usually see them.
Leaving Nafplio: Bourtzi and Palamidi from the water
Every cruise departs from the port in Nafplio’s Old Town. As we head out, you get panoramic views of the Bourtzi fortress in the harbour and the Palamidi castle above the town, a view of Nafplio most visitors never see.
Xiropigado: beaches you can only reach by boat
On our full-day and sailing cruises, the first stop is the coastline of Xiropigado. Its secluded beaches are accessible only by boat, which makes them a quiet place for a first swim in crystal-clear water.
Daskalio Island: the main stop
The small island of Daskalio is the heart of most of our itineraries. We stop nearby so you can swim, snorkel, try the paddleboards and relax on deck, while the crew serves a freshly prepared meal on board. On the half-day catamaran cruises we also make a short stop at a hidden beach on the way there.
Romvi Island and the view of Tolo
From Daskalio we continue to the back side of Romvi Island. The water here is crystal clear, and from the boat you look out over the village of Tolo and the surrounding coastline. It’s a lovely spot for one more swim.
Karathona Beach: the last swim
On the way back to Nafplio we make a final short stop near Karathona Beach before returning to the port where the day began.
