·

The Greek city of Nafplio has been named as one of the ’10 Most Welcoming Cities on Earth for 2022′ by Booking.com.

Nafplio ranked fourth on the list for its “charm and beauty,” as well as its proximity to Athens. It was beaten by the Italian city of Matera in first place, followed by Bled in Slovenia and Taitung City in Taiwan.

In a description of the city, the Booking.com website says Nafplio is “a relatively unknown gem” that everyone should visit.

“Nafplio is a great choice for those looking to avoid the throngs of foreign tourists during the summer months, and offers plenty of stunning architecture and historical sites to explore,” it says on the website.

The international travel platform released its list with the aim of inspiring travellers who seek something truly special for their future travels: from off-the-radar island escapes, historic cities and architectural marvels to pristine mountain getaways.

The list’s 10 destinations have all been selected for consistently providing outstanding hospitality, as evidenced by more than 232 million verified reviews from real Booking.com travellers.
