    A really nice area with old ruins of a historical fortress. There are some signs that explain what you see. I think the entire area could have been much more inviting if it was cleaner and more facilitated than it currently is. This area is like a park so ENTRANCE IS FREE. You can easily access it by car or by foot, and the walk up there is not hard and very beautiful if you come through the little streets or the old town. Things to note: 1. There are no railings or safety fences in some areas which are high, so if you bring kids do keep them close. 2. There are great views of the beach and the fortress on the mountain, as well as nice spots for sunsets. 3. If you need to choose between here and the fortress on the mountain, go to the mountain one. Although there’re an entrance free, it is much more impressive. If you went up the mountain and you have time, it’s a nice addition but not mandatory. If you don’t have time for the mountain, come here.

    Nice to walk around although the fortress not in good condition. The view of the old town and the sea is one good reason to come to this place. Recommended

    It has a very calm and peaceful view. A historical place where you can walk comfortably. In addition, it is very wonderful to watch the castle and the city in the middle of the sea from above. You can easily go out by car.

    Great views of the fortress at sunset and the Nafplio gulf on the other side. Worth a long evening hike around the peninsula. However the castle itself is quite unkempt, which has it charm but beware slippery stones and stingy cacti! It's possible to also reach the beach on the North side of the peninsula which is lovely and cool and with bar. Great for an evening swim. Stunning sights all around.

    999 stairs to the top! Do yourself a favor and take a taxi. Stunning photo opportunity!

    The view is beautiful. Acronafplia is nafplio's oldest castle. Love it.

    Absolutely stunning! Our visit in late October was a true delight. The weather was absolutely perfect, with just the right touch of crispness in the air. The serene forest was graced by only a few fellow explorers, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking, awe-inspiring scenery.

    Beautiful view, and I wish I had known that it would be great as a picnic place. Or just brought a blanket to sunbathe. It was not many people there and especially not off the road. Got some great pictures. And it's free, you can even drive up.

    Lovely lower castle of Nafplio with so much history, from the ancient times to the Byzantines, the Venetians, Ottomans and the modern Greek state.

    Lots of history, and views, for free. However I wish the state would do something about the excessive littering on historic sites, free or not.

    You can visit by foot (recommended) or car. Has grate view over Nafplion and it is peaceful. A must visit if you are in Nafplion I think.

  • 5/5 Lin R. 1 year ago on Google
    It is great to see the whole city and enjoy to visit the old wall.

  • 5/5 Crispy B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great remnant with alot of history. The view is really worth it. Go by the clocktower and spend a few minutes there. Definitely a worthy stop.

    Easily walkable up to the site through the old town. Just continue going uphill and the paths will eventually lead to this site. Though the scenery is beautiful the fortress is poorly maintained. There are abundant ugly graffiti on the walls, and quite a few spots reeks of old urine.

    Amazing castle with a beautiful view 😍

    Small site near the big Palamidi Castle. It has a nice history but it also shows how badly Greece takes care of it's heritage. Entrance is dominated by a big abandoned hotel.
