After walking around the old town’s picturesque alleyways, we will then climb to Akronafplia, the Acropolis of Nafplion and marvel at the unique panoramic views. Akronafplia fortress, originally built by the Romans and Byzantines, is the oldest of Nafplion's three castles and until the arrival of the Venetians, the town was restricted within its walls. The Turks called it Ic Kale (meaning inner castle). It was used as a Greek political prison from 1936 to 1956.
