Nafplion is one of Greece’s most beautiful and least-visited charter destinations for yachts in the 50,000 Euro per week bracket. The neoclassical town below the Palamidi fortress provides one of the most distinctive overnight berths in the country, and the Argolic Gulf’s sheltered waters, short inter-anchorage distances and exceptional cultural sites within a short drive make it an ideal itinerary for guests on a 25 to 35 metre yacht with professional crews of three to five.
The practical advantages of the Argolic Gulf at this budget are considerable. Port dues in Nafplion are modest, fuel distances are short and provisioning from the town’s covered market is excellent value. The islands of Spetses and Hydra at the Gulf’s entrance provide good overnight options with social atmosphere. Mycenae, Epidaurus and Tiryns are all reachable from the quayside by local taxi or arranged car.
Rates from 50,000 Euros per week cover the yacht and professional crew before the advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent, adding around 15,000 Euros. Total charter costs for a fully provisioned week in the Argolic Gulf at this level typically run to around 65,000 Euros, making it excellent value compared to equivalent Cycladic destinations with higher port dues and longer fuel distances.
Nafplion is particularly well-suited to guests combining a sailing or motor charter with an interest in ancient Greek history; no other Greek charter area puts so many significant ancient sites within such easy reach.
