Embark on an unforgettable journey through history as we visit three of Greece’s most iconic castles: Acrocorinth Castle, Palamidi Castle, and Bourtzi Fortress. Our adventure also includes a stop at the stunning Corinth Canal and free time in the charming town of Nafplio before returning to Athens.

Corinth Canal – A Marvel of Engineering

Our first stop is the breathtaking Corinth Canal, a 19th-century engineering feat that connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas. This narrow waterway, carved through solid rock, is an impressive sight and an ideal place for stunning photos. After taking in the views, we continue our journey toward our first castle.

Acrocorinth Castle – The Mighty Fortress

Perched on a rocky hill overlooking ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth Castle is one of the most impressive fortifications in Greece. With its origins dating back to antiquity, the castle has served as a stronghold for various civilizations, including the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans. As we explore its vast walls, ancient gates, and breathtaking viewpoints, you’ll witness history come to life. From the top, the panoramic views of the Corinthian Gulf and the Peloponnese are simply spectacular.

Palamidi Castle – The Venetian Masterpiece

Next, we head to Palamidi Castle, a Venetian fortress towering above Nafplio. Built in the early 18th century, Palamidi is famous for its 999 steps, which lead to its well-preserved bastions and stunning vantage points. (Don’t worry—there’s also a road that takes you to the entrance!) The castle played a crucial role in the Greek War of Independence and offers an immersive glimpse into the country’s military history. As we explore its stone walls, secret passages, and breathtaking views of Nafplio and the Argolic Gulf, you’ll understand why this fortress is one of the most visited in Greece.

Nafplio – Free Time in Greece’s Most Romantic Town

After exploring Palamidi, we descend into the heart of Nafplio, one of Greece’s most beautiful and historically rich towns. Once the first capital of modern Greece, Nafplio enchants visitors with its neoclassical mansions, cobbled streets, and lively waterfront. Here, you’ll have free time to wander the charming alleys, relax at a seaside café, or enjoy a delicious Greek meal at a local taverna. Nafplio’s vibrant atmosphere and stunning architecture make it the perfect place to unwind before our final castle visit.

Bourtzi Fortress – The Floating Castle

Our last stop is Bourtzi Fortress, a small Venetian castle located on an islet in Nafplio’s harbor. Originally built in the 15th century to defend the city from pirate attacks, this picturesque fortress later served as a residence for executioners and even as a luxury hotel! Though access to the interior may be limited, the sight of this fairytale-like fortress floating in the sea is truly magical.

After a day filled with history, breathtaking views, and unforgettable experiences, we return to Athens, reflecting on the incredible journey through time and Greece’s legendary castles.
