There are beautiful places in the country, transformed into flowery oases in springtime. The only question is which place you are going to choose. This is a hard dillema and we feel you, so the only piece of advice we could give you is to organize as many getaways as you can. A breath of fresh air!
Nafplio
To many, Nafplio is hands down the most romantic destination in Greece. The former capital of Greece is picturesque and lovely. It is filled with Medieval influences and some truly remarkable landmarks. Palamidi is a Venetian fortress with incredible views from above. Bourtzi water castle may be reached through a short boat ride from the quaint harbor. The cobbled alleys and the squares, the verdant nature and the unique gastronomy make Nafplio a wonderful solution in spring.
Meteora
Have you been wondering where George R. R. Martin got inspired for the emblematic Castle of the Vale? One of the iconic Game of Thrones locations strongly resembles Meteora. A fairytale place, where monasteries hang from the imposing cliffs. Unearthly, rare and grandiose, Meteora will astound you from the beginning. You may visit the monasteries that are still in operation. The view is simply breathtaking!
Spetses
