• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a waterway that traverses the narrow isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. This canal effectively separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, transforming it into an island. Although completed in the late 19th century, the canal was a dream over 2000 years old. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea wishing to cross to the Adriatic or dock in Corinth, a prosperous shipping city, had to navigate around the Peloponnese, adding an extra 185 nautical miles to their journey. It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to envision the Corinth Canal. Due to the project’s complexity and the limited technical capabilities of the time, Periander built the diolkos, a stone road that allowed ships to be transported on wheeled platforms.

• Palamidi Castle - One of the most well-preserved castles in all of Greece, Palamidi offers spectacular views of the city from its loopholes, wonderful routes inside, and the daunting terrain of the Kolokotronis prison hole.

Palamidi is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Perched on the crest of a 216-meter high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715). The fortress commands an impressive view over the Argolic Gulf, the city of Náfplio, and the surrounding countryside. There are 913 steps in the winding stair from the town to the fortress. However, to reach the top of the fortress, there are over one thousand steps, while locals in the town of Nafplion will say there are 999 steps to the top of the castle.

Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that 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. The town was the capital of the First HELLENIC Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece from the start of the Greek Revolution.

The Lion of the Bavarians

It’s impressive, it’s huge, and it’s carved into the rock above Michael Iatrou Street, with a small park at its base. The sleeping lion is the work of German sculptor Christian Ziegel, commissioned by King Louis, father of Otto, in memory of the Bavarian soldiers of Otto’s dynasty, who died in Nafplio in 1833 of a typhoid epidemic. The locals, of course, say that what killed them was the many bitter things they ate, hence the other, unofficial name of the monument (echm) Agouroon.
