Sea Kayak in Nafplio Claimed

everyday life and make you part of an almost exotic image in a matter of minutes. It stretches behind the Rock of Palamidi for about three kilometres, with palm trees, eucalyptus trees and a small island that is where seagulls give birth to their young. Passing near it, we may have the opportunity to watch how they learn to swim and catch fish on their own.

In the background we can see the majestic Palamidi, the fortification built by the Venetians in Acronauplia, and even the fortress of Argos in the background. Acronafplia is the imposing rocky peninsula that was once the Acropolis of Nafplio. The Turks called it "Itz-Kale" which means "inside the fortress".

We will continue rowing under the shadow of the great fortress, following the magnificent coastline through picturesque beaches accessible only from the sea. We will reach "Bourtzi" and the fortifications that protected Nafplio from pirates.

"Castello dello Soglio" was the first name of the Venetian castle, which, along with Palamidi, is considered one of the landmarks of Nafplio. However, the name that eventually prevailed is Bourtzi, which in Turkish means "island - fortress". It was built on the islet of Agioi Theodoroi in 1473 by the Italian engineer Gabelo and therefore its first name is Italian, meaning "castle of the throne". Moreover, if you have heard Nafplio referred to as "the port of the chain" (Porto Cadena), this is because there was, in fact, a mobile chain connecting Acronauplia with Bourtzi and its purpose was to protect the port and the city from the sea. invaders.

Leaving behind Bourtzi, we will reach a beautiful beach to rest and relax, have lunch, swim a little and return to where we started.
