Choose Nafplio if…
- You want to walk out of your door into a Venetian old town every evening.
- You are staying two nights and doing very little driving.
- The harbour, the bougainvillea and the boutiques are the point of the trip.
- You do not mind higher rates and hunting for a parking space.
Choose Argos if…
- You are touring the Argolid — Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nemea, the beaches — and want the shortest drives.
- You want free parking outside the hotel.
- You would rather spend the difference in rate on dinners and wine.
- You like towns that are not rehearsed for visitors: a real square, a real market, real prices.
You do not have to choose one over the other
Twelve minutes is nothing. Guests staying in Argos drive to Nafplio for dinner and an evening walk several times a week, then come back to a quiet street and a free parking space. The reverse — staying in Nafplio and driving inland for every site — costs more time and more money.
Where we fit in
Palladion Boutique Hotel is a ten-room boutique hotel on the central square of Argos: certified Greek Breakfast, contemporary rooms, rain showers, illy espresso, 24-hour self check-in and a team who plan your Argolid days with you.
