This a really pretty town, with beautiful walks. But it also felt very touristy, with many of the same shops. Walk the promenade, have some lunch, maybe a museum but skip the rest, you've seen it before.

The view towards the Bourtzi island fortress is spectacular, especially at dawn and dusk; however this is largely obscured by the harbour car park on the one side.

The walk around the hill where Akronafplia castle is, is amazing! You have a view of just the sea, and the path is dressed in rocks. It has benches from time to time and a hole in the mountain! If you happen to go there in a hot weather don't forget to take your bathing suit cause at the end... More

Around this lively, and very pretty, port town. The walk eventually leads around a peninsula and then up to the castle.
