Designed especially for cruise passengers docking at Nafplion Port, this private walking food tour invites you to experience Greece through its everyday flavors, stories, and traditions. Set in one of the Peloponnese’s most charming coastal towns, the experience blends history, culture, and light tastings into a relaxed and memorable shore excursion.

Begin with an easy stroll into Nafplio’s Old Town, where cobblestone lanes and elegant neoclassical buildings create the perfect backdrop for a culinary journey. Start the day like a local with a cup of strong Greek coffee and a warm, flaky bougatsa pastry filled with silky custard. As you wander through the town’s scenic alleys, your guide brings Nafplio’s past to life, sharing stories shaped by Venetian and Ottoman influences.

A visit to a favorite neighborhood delicatessen introduces you to the essentials of Greek gastronomy—fragrant olive oils, briny olives, and bold cheeses such as graviera and feta, each reflecting the character of the region. Learn how these staples are woven into daily Greek life and enjoy curated tastings along the way.

At the end of the tour, time is set aside near the harbor for guests who wish to relax at a local ouzeri or taverna before returning to the ship. This final stop is optional and at personal expense, allowing you to enjoy light meze with a glass of ouzo or local wine if you choose, or simply continue back to the port at your own pace.

With its gentle rhythm, rich storytelling, and authentic flavors, this tour is ideal for food lovers seeking a true taste of Nafplio—just steps from the cruise port and perfectly timed for your return to ship.
