Hidden Honeymoon Gems - Nafplion, Greece - part of the weddings video series by GeoBeats.

Greece's popular coastal city of Nafplion is a great choice for your honeymoon.

Originally surrounded by marshy wetlands, the city undertook an organized landfill project to more than double the area of its municipality.

On a steep hill overlooking the region with a wall that stretches for miles, is the 17th century Palamidi Castle, a city landmark. Among these is the small 15th century island fortress of Bourtzi which has served as a fort, residence, and hotel.

Past the white washed structures topped with red tile roofs are the sublime warm sandy beaches and port.

The town contains many historical buildings, sites, and vantage points as well as a fascinating archaeological museum.
