Bourtzi - Visiting Bourtzi Castle in Nafplio is a memorable experience that combines history with stunning views. Situated on a small islet in the harbor, the castle was originally constructed by the Venetians in the 15th century to protect the town from naval attacks.

To reach Palamidi, visitors can either drive up to the fortress entrance or take a challenging but rewarding walk up the 999 steps leading to the top.
The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - A visit to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is an unforgettable experience, especially for history and culture lovers. Located in the sanctuary of Asclepius, about 30 kilometers from Nafplio, this well-preserved theater is considered one of the finest examples of ancient Greek theater architecture.
