Great small museum that covers Greek military engagements from the war of independence through WWII. Lots of historic weapons, uniforms, and documents on display. There is a continuous running movie on Greece during WWII on the top floor. There was plenty of references to Nafplio’s role in these conflicts. It was the nation’s first capital after it won independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821. It was very interesting. The museum is staffed with very polite soldiers from the Greek Army. It stays open later than the museums too. Everything had descriptions in English. We discussed some of the history with the soldier on duty. He was well informed and proud of his history. Well worth a visit.

We actually came here to get out of the sun for a little bit, but it turned out to be one of my favorite places in Nafplio. The museum is set up in chronological order from the start of the Greek army until present day. There are a lot of interesting items to see, but my favorite was the WWII video on the top floor. We spent more time than we had originally planned, but loved every part of it. Definitely give it a try if you're around.

The War Museum of Nafplio is housed in the two storey neo-classical building. This building was built originally the to house the first Military Academy in Greece. It was founded by Ioannis Kapodistrias, in order to provide the army with suitably educated recruits. Since its restoration in 1988 it has housed the War Museum. Interesting site of historical importance.

Very interesting small museum highlighting the War of Greek Independence and the German occupation of Greece during World War 2. The admission fee is 3 Euros. The building has steep stairs and I didn't notice if there was an elevator. It's a very old building, You may have to ask. Give it a look.

In this historical building the first military school of Greece was founded. The collection is superb starting from the 1821 Greek Revolution era .WWI&WW2 exhibition items are also included. A visit in this place is a must and everyone should give it a try.

Ήμασταν σε εκδρομή τον γύρο της Πελοποννήσου και περάσαμε από Ναύπλιο, θα μέναμε μόνο 2 ώρες και έτρεξα να βρω το μουσείο να το δω! Ευγενέστατα τα παιδιά στην είσοδο . Να σας πω πως είναι μια αξιόλογη δουλειά όλο το στήσιμο αυτού του μουσείο, η ιστορία μας … Συγκινήθηκα πάρα πολύ και ευχαριστώ για αυτήν την καταπληκτική δουλειά όλους εσάς που στήσατε όλο αυτό το μουσείο . Να το επισκεφτείτε , αξίζει . Γιατί να είμαι 2 ώρες σε ένα καφέ ή εστιατόριο και να μη μάθω 20 παραπάνω πράγματα για την ιστορία μας, είμαστε ελεύθεροι χάρη σε κάποιους ανθρώπους που πολέμησαν!
