Nafplio
The Old Town is mostly closed to visitors' cars. Park free on the waterfront by the harbour and walk in.
How street parking works
- Free parking along the waterfront by the harbour, around the old railway station park, about 7–8 minutes' walk from the Old Town. It's about two rows deep.
- The few spaces inside the Old Town are for residents with a permit, marked green with a white outline. Don't use them, even if they're empty.
- The bay opposite Bourtzi castle is for tour buses only.
- White lines: free. Blue lines: paid. Check the sign.
Good to know
- Arrive before 09:00, especially at weekends and from June to September.
- Enforcement is strict: you risk a ticket, and sometimes the plates are removed.
- The free parking has no guards or cameras. Don't leave valuables in sight.
