Nafplio was the first capital of independent Greece. It's a charming seaside town with beautiful architecture, loads of history and several amazing places to visit in the surrounding countryside, such as world-renowned archaeological sites and wineries.
Nafplio has always been a favourite day trip destination among Athenians. However, in this video, we show you why it would be best to spend a couple of days - or even more - in Nafplio instead of visiting on a day trip from Athens.

10 Hidden gems you need to visit while in Greece Nafplio's Fairytale Fortress #history #greece
Fortress of Palamidi - Nafplio, Greece
Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
The fortress was a very large and ambitious project, but was finished within a relatively short period from 1711 until 1714. It is a typical baroque fortress based on the plans of the engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. In 1715 it was captured by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822, when it was captured by the Greeks.
The fortress commands an impressive view over the Argolic Gulf, the city of Náfplio and the surrounding country. There are 913 steps in the winding stair from the town to the fortress. However, to reach the top of the fortress there are over one thousand.

Palamidi (Greek: Παλαμήδι) is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
The fortress was a very large and ambitious project, but was finished within a relatively short period from 1711 until 1714. It is a typical baroque fortress based on the plans of the engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. In 1715 it was captured by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822, when it was captured by the Greeks.
The eight bastions of the fortress were originally named after the Venetian provveditori. However, when it fell to the Ottoman Empire, the bastions were given Turkish names. Lastly, when the Greeks overthrew the Turks the bastions were renamed after ancient Greek leaders and heroes (Epaminondas, Miltiades, Leonidas, Phocion, Achilles, Themistocles. The two remaining bastions were named after St. Andrew (Agios Andreas) and the French Philhellene Robert who died in battle on the Acropolis of Athens. The Miltiades, was used as a prison and among its walls was also held Theodoros Kolokotronis, hero of the Greek Revolution.
The fortress commands an impressive view over the Argolic Gulf, the city of Náfplio and the surrounding country. There are 913 steps in the winding stair from the town to the fortress. However, to reach the top of the fortress there are over one thousand. Locals in the town of Nafplion will say there are 999 steps to the top of the castle, and specials can be found on menus that incorporate this number to catch a tourist's eye.

It's one of the Greek cities that I love the most. The atmosphere of the old town is awesome. So, I embellish a song of my favorite Greek singer :-))

Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.

BOURTZI
Bourtzi : The castle of the throne
Castello dello Soglio was the first name of the Venetian castle, which along with Palamidi, is considered one of the landmarks of Nafplio. Nevertheless, the name that finally prevailed is Bourtzi, which in Turkish means « Island - Fort ».With the Venetian «castle of the throne» there is always a dilemma for you: Is it better to gaze it from a distance- like a postcard that never fades- or to wander in its microcosm and smell strong smells of history?
An elegant Italian castle
What is certain is that just looking at it is not enough; just like everybody else , you will probably want to know its history. Bourtzi was built on the islet of St. Theodoroi in1473 by the Italian engineer Gabelo and that is why its first name is Italian. Moreover, if you have heard people refer to Nafplio as «the chain harbour» (Porto Cadena ), this is because there was, indeed, a mobile chain which connected Acronafplia with Bourtzi and whose purpose was to protect the harbour and the city from sea invaders.
From prison to hotel!
As years passed by, the Venetian castle was used in a variety of ways. Being, initially, the first prison of Kolokotronis (best-known hero of the Greek revolution against the Turks) and the residence of the executioners of Palamidi, it later offered housing to the Greek government twice. During the 30s it operated as a centre of the Greek national tourist organisation and from 1960 to 1970 as a luxury hotel and restaurant.

Ναύπλιο - Παλαμήδι _ Palamidi fortress -Nafplio, Peloponnese, Greece
Το Παλαμήδι είναι φρούριο στο Ναύπλιο το οποίο κατασκευάστηκε το 1687 από τους Βενετούς, ύστερα από την κατάληψη του λόφου στον οποίο βρίσκεται, μετά από σφοδρή μάχη με τους Οθωμανούς κατά τον Βενετοτουρκικό Πόλεμο. Ο λόφος πάνω στον οποίο βρίσκεται έχει ύψος 216 μέτρα και η ανάβαση στο Παλαμήδι γίνεται είτε με αυτοκίνητο είτε μέσω μιας σκάλας με πολλά σκαλοπάτια (γνωστά ως 999 σκαλοπάτια). Το 1715, κατά την διάρκεια του τελευταίου Βενετοτουρκικού Πολέμου οι Οθωμανοί το κυρίευσαν αφού ανατίναξαν τμήμα του.
Κατά την διάρκεια της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης του 1821 οι Τούρκοι οχυρώθηκαν στο Παλαμήδι αλλά στις 30 Νοεμβρίου 1822 οι Έλληνες το κατέλαβαν έπειτα από μάχη στην οποία συμμετείχαν ο Στάικος Σταϊκόπουλος ο Μοσχονησιώτης και 300 άνδρες.
Μετά την Επανάσταση, το Παλαμήδι χρησίμευσε σαν φυλακή, στην οποία το 1833 φυλακίστηκε ο Θεόδωρος Κολοκοτρώνης και αποφυλακίστηκε 11 μήνες μετά , έπειτα από χάρη του βασιλιά Όθωνα.

Climbing the 999 Steps of Palimidi + Exploring the Fortress | Exploring Nafplio part 2
Climbing the 999 Steps of Palimidi + Exploring the Fortress | Exploring Nafplio part 2
Hello and welcome to another travel vlog. Today I am taking you guys back to one of my favorite cities in the world: Nafplio (Ναύπλιο), Greece!
In this video I will be hiking around the mountains and making my way to Palamidi, which is the giant fortress at the top of the city. There are 999 steps to climb on the way up and it was 100 degrees F with the sun beating down. Challenging climb but totally worth it once we reached the top and got to explore the fortress. Very cool and well preserved. We even saw the Prison of Kolokotrones and went inside. I must say, the prison room was cold and damp even though outside the temperature was hot and dry. Must have been miserable to be locked up in there. Lesson: don’t commit the crime if you can’t do the time.
After hiking the 999 steps and exploring the fortress we walked back down the steps and made our way to the beach. Best beach view I’ve ever seen as you can look up and see the fortress while swimming in the water. Levi forgot to take his phone out of his pocket before he went in the water and it was ruined. Bummer! But with all the great experiences we had today, a broken phone wasn’t going to bring us down!
There’s a reason I say Nafplio is my favorite city in the world. I hope by watching the video (parts 1 and 2) I did justice to the magnificent city and you can see why it’s my favorite.
Nafplio is a Venetian town with ancient Greek roots. It is located in the Peloponnese, about a 2 hour drive from Athens. ... Known in Venetian times as Napoli di Romania, modern Nafplio has an Italian look. It was also the first capital of modern Greece after the war of independence against the Turks.
“Palamidi (Greek: Παλαμήδι) is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
The fortress was a very large and ambitious project, but was finished within a relatively short period from 1711 until 1714. It is a typical baroque fortress based on the plans of the engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. In 1715 it was captured by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822, when it was captured by the Greeks.
