It lies 144 km from Athens and 11 km from Nafplio. It has about 2500 permanent residents and in summer it attracts many tourists and visitors. Built by the seaside, it’s surrounded by three beautiful islands. Koronissi, Romvi and Daskalio. The inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing and tourism. This windless sandy bay was known since Homer's years as Asini. Then came the Franks, the Venetians, and finally the Turks Conquerors. After the Independence of Greece, Cretan refugees settled in the region. From the mid-20th century Tolo has been transformed into an evolving resort that hosts tourists from many parts of the globe, due to its unparalleled natural beauty, tranquility of the landscape and nearby archaeological sites of interest.
