NAFPLIO - PALAMIDI FORTRESS - ARVANITIA BEACH - KARATHONAS PATH - AG NIKOLAOS - PROFET ILIAS
Nafplio, or Anapli, the capital of the prefecture of Argolis, is one of Greece's most famous and beautiful cities. In addition to being an administrative centre, it is also an important tourist centre, with constant traffic throughout the year.
According to mythology, the city owes its name to the settler of Nafplion, the son of the gods Poseidon and Amymone. In ancient times, Nafplio was essentially in the shadow of Argos, serving as its port from the 7th century BC.
PALAMIDI FORTRESS
Palamidi Castle is located on the homonymous Palamidi hill of Nafplio, at a height of 216 metres, at a strategic point for controlling the Argolic Gulf.
It is the best-preserved castle and is considered one of Greece's most beautiful. It is an achievement of fortified architecture.
The name Palamidi is due to the Homeric hero "Palamedus", who took part in the Trojan War but did not return after being murdered after being accused of treason by Odysseus.
