8 Churches & Cathedrals in Nafplio That You Shouldn't Miss
Nafplio (Greek: Ναύπλιο) is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.

It’s a beautiful place of worship, dating from the 15th century. Soft light hues lend an absorbing attraction to the exterior and facades. It is renowned for the great iconostasis, highly embellished with holy images. A vision along the nave lined with fabulous chandeliers and bounded by slender columns is marvellous. An awe-inspiring ceiling is gloriously crowning. A splendid throne and pulpit are further evidence of the church’s importance in the life of the city.

Catholic mass said at 19:00 on Sat and Sun evenings and at 11 am on Sunday mornings ( correct as of August 2019). Very welcoming priest who prints out the readings in different languages for people and offers drinks of water afterwards. There is air conditioning in the church but it can still be a little hot depending on the humidity so a fan can be useful.
