Palamidi Castle
Explore Greek History
Discover the Majestic Palamidi Castle with Comfortable Transportation
Palamidi Castle is a towering fortress that dominates the skyline of Nafplio, offering stunning panoramic views and a rich history. Built by the Venetians in the early 18th century, this impressive fortress played a crucial role in Greece’s history, especially during the War of Independence. It stands atop a 216-meter hill, with eight bastions connected by walls, each named after key historical figures and saints.
One of the most memorable aspects of visiting Palamidi is the climb. The fortress is famously accessed by a staircase of 999 steps, although the more adventurous visitors may count fewer! For those who prefer not to take on the steep ascent, there is also a road that leads directly to the entrance.
Inside the fortress, visitors can explore the bastions, underground chambers, and small chapels, with each corner offering breathtaking views of Nafplio and the surrounding Argolic Gulf. The castle is also home to the infamous prison cell of Theodoros Kolokotronis, a hero of the Greek War of Independence.
