Why Go
When Nafplio was Greece's first capital, its first governor, Ioannis Kapodistrias, was assassinated outside the Church of St. Spyridon in 1831; the bullet mark is still in the wall. Syntagma Square has the archaeological museum in a Venetian arsenal and the old mosque where the first parliament met.
