Leave from Kifisos
Use the KTEL Argolida departure at Athens Kifisos bus terminal, also written Kifisou. It is not Liosion bus station or Larissa railway station. Check the bay and departure on your booking, and leave time for traffic on the way there.
Use the published fare correctly
KTEL Argolida lists €15.70 for a single or €29 for its return product. The operator describes the road journey as around 150 km and 2 hours 10 minutes. That road distance is longer than the straight-line comparison above. Confirm return-ticket conditions before buying if your date is uncertain.
Finish on foot if the room allows it
From the central Nafplio coach stop, many town addresses are reachable on foot, but old-town steps and restricted vehicle access matter with bags. Ask your accommodation for the easiest approach. For the return towards an Athens flight, X93 serves the intercity bus stations and airport; leave a generous connection instead of treating the two rides as one guaranteed journey.
Plan the arrival
The Athens guide and Nafplio guide explain the local journeys, places to stay and visits. Add the main travel ticket separately to your daily spending plan. The distance above is a straight-line comparison between the city centres; your train, road or flight route can be longer.
