This breathtaking panoramic view captures the town as it appeared in 1902, with its picturesque harbor and colorful buildings cascading down the hillside towards the sea. Nafplio holds significant historical importance as the capital city of Greece from 1829 to 1834. During this time, it was the site of the first modern Greek constitution and the place where Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first president of the modern Greek republic, was assassinated.
