Hiking Tour, 3 Hours 30 Minutes

A guided hiking tour in Nafplio lasting 3 hours and 30 minutes. Travelers walk trails around the town with a guide and take in the surrounding scenery along the way.

Overview

The route options vary in difficulty, so the group can match the walk to its ability. You start at 09:00 at the monument in Philellion Square, and pickup and drop-off from your hotel in Nafplio or the port are included.

The walking itself mixes terrain. Trails pass through olive groves, orchards and denser vegetation, and the guide points out native plants and wildlife along the way. Some paths follow old routes past historic monuments and traditional villages, where the listing describes life moving at a relaxed pace. Coastal tracks cross the headland before dropping down to sandy beaches.

A traditional picnic with water is part of the package, as are liability insurance and all taxes. A reviewer described the guide as knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly, someone who clearly enjoys sharing the area. The tour suits most travellers who can walk for the full duration, with a group capped at 15 people and a minimum of 2 required per booking.
