Arvanitia
A small pebble beach right at the edge of Nafplio's old town, notable mainly for its accessibility — you can walk straight from the town center along a scenic coastal path (partly cut into the cliff below Palamidi Fortress) to reach it. The water is clear, and the setting, with views out toward Bourtzi and the Argolic Gulf, is more attractive than the beach's small size might suggest.
It's a convenient rather than a spectacular beach; locals and visitors use it for a quick swim without needing transport, which is its main appeal over the area's other, more scenic but farther-flung beaches.
The coastal path continuing beyond Arvanitia toward Karathona beach is a pleasant walk in its own right, with views back toward the fortress and town.
