Pension Marianna

Top choice in Nafplio


Vibrant Pension Marianna is one of Nafplio's long-standing and outstanding favourites; you can't get better for value, Greek authenticity, and setting (all fabulous). Many of the bright and airy, squeaky-clean rooms provide superb views from the hilltop position. The welcoming Zotos family epitomises Greek filoxenia (hospitality), and provides conviviality, travel advice and delicious breakfasts, using their own farm produce.

For those who prefer cosy, romantic hideways, ask for one of the stone rooms. Lemon trees and flowers release sweet aromas. Rates are €5 less per person without breakfast.
