Ferrari Cavalcade 2026: When Nafplio Became Maranello
On Saturday, July 5, 2026, Nafplio found itself at the centre of international attention — not for its history, but for 116 reasons shaped like a prancing horse.
What Is the Ferrari Cavalcade
The Cavalcade is Ferrari's most exclusive institution — an annual, private driving journey dedicated solely to select owner-clients of the brand from around the world. This year's route, from June 29 to July 6, started in Venice, passed through Slovenia and Croatia, and ended in Greece — with Nafplio as one of its most significant stops.
The Arrival in Nafplio
The 116 crews arrived in the Peloponnese by sea. From early morning, the Bouboulinas waterfront (Akti Miaouli) and historic Syntagma Square were packed with crowds, with Bourtzi as the backdrop. Models included the 849 Testarossa, F80, 296 Speciale, 12Cilindri, SF90 XX Stradale, Daytona SP3, and the legendary LaFerrari.
Next Stop: Moni Loukous
From Nafplio, the convoy continued toward Moni Loukous in Arcadia, before heading to the Port of Piraeus.
A Purpose Beyond the Spectacle
Part of the proceeds will support the UNHCR's "Kypseli" programme for refugees in Greece, as well as the new M-TECH Alfredo Ferrari education centre, expected to open in Maranello in 2029.
Why It Matters for Nafplio
Choosing Nafplio as a stop for such an exclusive, international event confirms the town's standing as a destination capable of hosting high-prestige events.
