Náfplion - Akrónafplia

The fortifications at Náfplion are still impressive - for example the entrance to Akrónafplia, on the east side, with a gate built of Roman bricks, a Byzantine gatehouse containing fine frescoes of 1291 and Venetian bastions. Akrónafplia itself, with a history going back to the fourth century B.C., is now a luxury hotel.
