OUR REVIEW
Right in the centre of Nafplios old characterful
streets is a puzzling and unique find, Ilion Hotel. Its rooms are painted in
dazzling colours, with mythology themes hand-painted on bed-heads and
ceilings, decorated with theatrical flair and real antiques. A
selection of rooms artistically put together by the hotel lady owner
(a passionate antique lover), that matches the history of the 300-year
old building.
There are only 10 suites .you should seize one for yourself to
enjoy your stay in Nafplion. A couple of suites ("Love & Soul",
"Sun") have nice sea views across red-tiled
roofs, others have a view to the town or look onto the courtyard. All have spacious bathrooms
with jacuzzi tub or shower.
Stepping out of this theatrical stage-set onto the town's streets is a
gentle immersion in contemporary times seasoned with the ever-present
history which is Nafplio's stock in trade. The town preserves a lot
of its historic character, buildings and squares, making it a "must visit" in the Peloponnese.
Walk up to the Akronafplia fortress in minutes, to
the Palamidi castle on the adjoining hill or across a few
cobblestone streets to the waters edge and the view of the Bourtzi
fortress, sitting out at sea like a historic hide-out for an
antiquarian Dr. No in a Bond movie. Read more about Nafplion
