It was the Venetians who left the most significant traces there and who created a metropolis on the Peloponnese island from this town. In addition, the town differs from other Greek towns in that the houses and other buildings are not constructed in a chaotic way and Nafplio is quite clean and tidy. Among frequently visited and interesting places in Nafplio belong fortresses, which had been built around the town. They are Acronauplia, Palamídi and the Toron Castle, which was also originally a fortress. The Palamídi fortress, which is accessible to public, offers beautiful views upon the whole town of Nafplio and its environs. Another place of interest is the Bourtzi fortress not far away from the port, where you can get by boat for 3 euro. In proximity of the town, there are the remains of the Ancient Mycenae. Nafplio is popular for its market, which takes place on Saturday and you can really find anything there..
