Lastly the availability of land and the small radius of the old city of Nafplio makes the supply of housing and potential development limited and that means that the prices are high especially if you consider the year of the built of the buildings.
Owing a house in the old city of Nafplio can be extremely beneficiary for someone who wants to be in the heart of the city in the summer time and doesn’t plan to move his/her car a lot. Within close walking distance there will be some of the most popular cafes, restaurants and taverns that are located in the city of Nafplio.
The next area that was created in the city of Nafplio is the one that is located underneath the Plamidi castle till the Evangelistria church. This is an old area of the modern Nafplio that was mainly developed in the 50’s – 70’s. Mainly in the area you can find old houses that were constructed by the workers families for their primary residence. During the times this area was introduced as the extended city plan, the economic situation in the country was not the best. Back then people were struggling to make ends meet and usually at the Greek family the father was the only one who was working while the mother was taking care of the kids. People usually, first bought the land and slowly were building their houses. In the beginning, the house might only be a room for the entire family that was slowly extended with more rooms as the father was bringing the necessary funds to the household.
