Otto's early reign was also notable for his moving the capital of Greece from Nafplio to which city?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Athens
- Step 1: Otto's early reign was also notable for his moving the capital of Greece from Nafplio to Athens. Answer: Athens. Why not the others: "Thessaloniki" remained under Ottoman imperial sovereignty for nearly another eight decades until 1912; "Patras" was Greece's main export port for black currants but was not chosen as the capital; "Chalcis" was a garrison town in Euboea controlling the Euripus Strait rather than an administrative capital.
