Palimidi Fortress in Nafplio, Greece

Показать описание

You can access it by climbing 900+ steps or driving. Start early in the morning when the steps are in the shade, and bring water. The path begins just to the right of Kontrabasso Bar. Those looking for less of a challenge can hire a taxi at the entrance to Old Town to take you to the top (about €10); you can arrange for your driver to come back to collect you, or descend the famous steps back to town. A visit to the fortress can take from 20 minutes to multiple hours – those who like to climb and explore will want to plan for at least an hour at the top. Open 8am to 7pm daily. Admission is €8, €4 for non-EU students and EU citizens over 65, free for EU students and all kids up to age 18. Built mostly in the early 1700s, the Fortress is important for being both the setting of one of the first Greek liberations from the Turks and for acting as the prison of the Greek revolutionary hero, Theodoros Kolokotronis.
