Friday Photos: A Room with a View at Nafplia Palace Hotel, Greece

The views from the ancient Bronze Age acropolis in Nafplion are breathtaking. From your perch above this white-washed village on the Greek mainland, the Bay of Argolis sparkles turquoise far below. The Nafplia Palace Hotel & Villas-- aka the "jewel of the Pelaponnese"-- occupies a prime piece of real estate, built within an archeological site dating from the 3rd century BC. Designed to blend in to its surrounding environment, this uniquely-situated hotel offers stunning views from each and every one of its chic rooms, some equipped with balconies, private swimming pools, or outdoor jacuzzis. The hotel has three restaurants, two bars, a chic spa, and beautiful pools. There's even an elevator that carries guests down through the ancient bedrock of the acropolis to access the town beneath.
