Nafplio's Flea Market: Fresh Produce in Palamidi's Shadow

If you want to see a more authentic side of Nafplio, away from the old town's tourist shops, the flea market is the place. It's set up twice a week right where the legendary "999 steps" to Palamidi begin — local producers, lively calls, and all of Argolida's fresh produce in one spot.

When and Where

Nafplio's flea market traditionally runs every Wednesday and Saturday, from morning until around 2pm. Stalls line 25 Martiou street, starting from the Fire Department and running to Kyprou street — right at the foot of the Palamidi hill.

⚠️ The market day occasionally shifts due to national holidays or religious festivals (e.g. March 25, the feast of Saint Anastasios) — it's worth checking the Municipality of Nafplio's announcements before you go, especially if you're planning a trip specifically for it.

What You'll Find

Seasonal vegetables and greens, legumes, nuts, fruit — with local oranges taking centre stage in winter — a wide variety of fresh fish, plus clothing and household items. It's one of the best spots to buy genuinely local Argolida produce, straight from the producer.

Why It's Worth a Visit

Beyond the shopping, the flea market offers a slice of everyday Nafplio life — something different from the castles and museums. If you're in town on a Wednesday or Saturday morning, it's worth a short stroll even if you're not planning to buy anything.
