Nafsimedon Hotel is a boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century mansion at Sidiras Merarchias 9, on the edge of Nafplio’s Old Town. Antique furniture, period paintings and a garden draw history-minded couples looking for character over chain-hotel polish (source: Nafsimedon).
Guests climb into spacious rooms painted in apricot and peach tones. The rooms are fitted with chandeliers, marble-topped tables, old oil paintings and generous beds and bathrooms (source: Booking.com). Modern comforts sit alongside the antiques, including air conditioning, minibars, safes and satellite TV (source: Trivago). Downstairs, a contemporary bar contrasts with the mansion’s period interiors. The included breakfast, the garden and the terrace give guests a quiet start before they walk into town. Spa services and massages are available on request (source: Expedia). Guests rate it 9.3/10 on Trip.com (source: Trip.com).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book well ahead for July and August, when Athenians and international visitors fill Nafplio’s small hotels. Weekends stay busy year-round. May, June, September and October bring warm weather with thinner crowds. The hotel overlooks Kolokotronis Park, and Syntagma Square and the Old Town’s lanes are a short walk away. Climb the Palamidi Fortress steps early in the morning before the heat sets in, then take an evening stroll along the waterfront to view Bourtzi Castle. The KTEL bus station is nearby, and Athens is roughly two hours away by car or bus.
