Akronafplia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Akronafplia is the oldest part of the city of Nafplio in Greece. Until the 13th century, it was a town of its own. The arrival of the Venetians and the Franks transformed it into part of the town fortifications. Later, part of it was used as a prison until the Greek government decided that the view provided from its location would benefit the local tourism and built a hotel complex which still stands there today.
