We're heading to Palamidi Fortress, but get a good view of the city beach on our way.
Picture

1st step, 998 steps to go.  No matter where we go, we find a good work out is involved.
Picture
Another of the three fortifications in city - called Bourtzi.  The forts are all Venetian, 15th - 18th century.
Picture
Akronafplia, the third fortress sits on the far hill, beyond the abandoned layered hotel.  Ah, the cruise ship has arrived - prepare for wandering excursion groups - actually we did meet a couple at the top from the USA.

A view over the new section of Nafplio.
Picture
Picture
Picture
A couple of tenders moving cruise ship people - the harbor is way too shallow for a large ship.
Picture

Picture
At the top, there's not a lot to see or experience of the remaining shell of the fort, except for the awesome views (and the workout).

Now descending...

We made it!  The legs are indeed a bit weary now.  We look up to see where we've been, hard to believe.

Marcello Raffo, the Italian sweets guy, a friend of Rick Steves.  This concoction tasted as good as it looks.
Picture

Time for the Nafplio Archeological Museum.

The oldest known suit of armor in all European history - 15th century B.C. - complete with the boar tusk helmet.

The legs say "oy vay, there's that high fortress of sweat again."
Picture
Picture
Time for a swim - refreshing, but chilly and rocky again.
Picture

It's the whole squid this time!  And a final view, spot lights lighting it nicely, see the zigging and zagging stairway of a thousand steps.
