Tolo, Coastal village in Nafplio, Greece.
Tolo is a coastal village in Nafplio Municipality, set along a long sandy beach that faces the Argolic Gulf. The land behind the shore rises toward mountains, and a handful of small islands are visible from the waterfront.
Tolo began as a small fishing settlement and started attracting visitors in the 1960s as tourism spread along the Greek coast. Its growth was tied in part to the growing popularity of the ancient theater of Epidaurus nearby.
Most residents of Tolo descend from Cretan refugees who settled here and shaped the character of the village. Their roots are still felt in local customs and in the close-knit way the community comes together.
The beach is within easy walking distance of most accommodations and restaurants in the village. The terrain is flat and the area is small, so getting around on foot is straightforward.
Three small uninhabited islands, Romvi, Koronisi, and Daskaleio, sit just offshore and act as a natural barrier against open sea waves. Because of this, the water in front of the village stays calmer than at many other beaches in the area.
