Top Castles in Greece

Try to visit right when they open at 8 AM. I went late morning, and it was packed. Starting early gave me time to explore without feeling rushed.

I suggest grabbing snacks and drinks before you go. The castle's café is pricey and not worth it; I wished I'd just packed a picnic to enjoy in the beautiful gardens.

Consider a combo ticket if you're planning to hit other historical sites nearby. I saved a bit of cash that way and was able to see so much more during my trip.

Don't forget your camera! The views from the castle are stunning, especially during golden hour. I regretted not spending more time just soaking it all in

Bring a bottle of water and some snacks. There's not much around once you start exploring, and trust me, you'll want to take breaks soaking in the views

If you can, visit during the sunset. The changing colors over Nafplio and the sea are breathtaking. Perfect for a romantic vibe or a cool Instagram shot!

Check out the smaller exhibits inside the castle. They’re often overlooked but offer cool insights into the history of the place. Plus, not too crowded!

My advice is to bring some water and snacks, as there aren’t many shops around. I ended up thirsty and regretting not packing a little picnic.

I suggest visiting around 9 AM... The light is perfect for photos, and you’ll beat the crowds... Trust me, it gets busy later

while the view is stunning, don’t miss the grounds! i almost skipped walking around the walls because i was too excited about the tower. take your time!

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. The paths can be a bit uneven, and you’ll want to explore every corner without worrying about your feet.

My advice is to grab a drink or snack at one of the nearby cafes before heading to the castle. It can get pricey there, and you'll want to have energy to explore. I found a cute spot just a short walk away with better prices.
