Wiki: 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.

Nafplio in Greece, Former Capital of the First Hellenic Republic
Nafplio is a small town in Peloponnese, Greece. The name is the remnant of the old venetian name Napoli di Romania, the name of the area during the late Byzantine times. Nafplio is a seaport town that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic.
A sovereign naval nation-city in ancient times, Nafplio was founded and named after - according to Greek mythology - by hero Nafplios, father of Palamidis. A target for Franks, Venetians and Ottomans, they all repeatedly tried, and succeeded quite a few times, to conquer it. In 1829, after the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire, Nafplio was chosen as the first capital of the new-founded state and democracy. His palace was on the square in front of today's town hall. In 1833 the capital moved to Athens, the town remaining capital of the prefecture. It is a historical city due to its meaning to the Greek Revolution. It has a fantastic centre with small neoclassical historical houses, squares and churches.
Nowadays, when taking a walk in the picturesque alleys of the Old Town, visitors are drawn by the venetian balconies and the wonderful neoclassical buildings and mansions, images that bring feelings of sweet nostalgia. Relax at the numerous cafés on the port whilst viewing the sea, and visit Palamidi fortress for a scenic view of the Argolic gulf.
The town is built in two parts, the old, covering all the peninsula and the new, expanding to the north and the east. It is sometimes confusing to some that the hill overlooking the town is on the south of the town and the sea on the north. But once you notice it is easy to walk around the orderly shaped blocks.

Die malerische Hafenstadt Nafplio (Navplion) liegt im Nordosten des Peloponnes am Argolischen Golf Griechenland.
Die Stadt gewann erst im byzantinischen Reich an Bedeutung. Die erste Burganlage wurde oberhalb der heutigen Altstadt errichtet. Teilweise ist sie durch einen Hotelbau zweckentfremdet. Die zweite, weithin sichtbare Festung wurde auf dem Palamidi Hügel unter venezianischer Herrschaft erbaut. 999 Stufen führen zu ihr.
Entlang der Hafenmauer laden eine Reihe von Tavernen und Restaurants zum Verweilen ein. In der Mitte der Hafeneinfahrt ist die dritte Befestigungsanlage der Stadt, die Bourtzi-Festung, die lange Zeit als Gefängnis und Wohnstätte des Henkers diente.

Palamidi,Nafplio, Greece
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.

Palamidi Castle - Part 2, Nafplio, Peloponnese, Greece, 5/27/2011
I'm continuing my trek to reach the Palamidi Castle up the stone stairs. Now I'm about half way there (I misspoke in the video about how much further up to the castle). The little island in the Argolic Gulf (now I know its name!) is called Bourtzi (Μπούρτζ), which is also a small fortress. Bourtzi is about 200 meters off the coast of Nafplio. It was first built in 1473 by the Venetians as a foothold against the pirates. Later, it was used as the residence of the executioners of condemned prisoners. In the 1960s and 70s, it was turned into a hotel.
