If you are at Nafplion dont hesitate to take the first boat and visit Bourtzi - the small fortress in the sea. Its the Landmark of this historical city. Except your free walk in and around this rock - fort the amazing thing is the view to the town, a view that only you as visitor can have.
Σύντομη άφιξη με το θαλάσσιο ταξί. Ωραία αρχιτεκτονική. Ταξίδι πίσω στο χρόνο. Λουλούδια παντού. Ωραία θέα του Ναυπλίου.
Nice place, amazing view from the castle. The sea is so beautiful.Fantastic enjoy travel with ship!!!!
We liked this place a lot as it has a fantastic view of the whole town and the castle on the hill top. The boat trip to the castle was fun. The building need to be restored properly. The sunset view is fantastic.
Well worth the 3 euros for the short boat trip across to Bourtzi...beautiful view of Nafplio and Bourtzi itself was interesting and free entry...there were also clean toilets :) could have done with an extra 15 minutes before the return boat ride though ;)
Ride the small engine boat and visit this small island with its picturesque castle. Find yourself living 2 centuries ago in an -out of this world -enviroment
It was a short little boat ride to the Fortress and 20 minutes there was just enough to get a feel for the place and take some pictures. Totally worth 4 euros and nice to see Nafplio and Palamdi from that angle.
Наверное, каждый турист, побывавший в Нафплионе, привез с собой фотографию на фоне этой крепости. С берега смотрится очень впечатляюще: ощущение, что находишься рядом со знаменитым замком Иф и где-то там, за неприступными стенами, томится Эдмон Дантес, будущий граф Монте-Кристо. Очень красиво.
The fort in the middle of the harbor is eerily beautiful. For 4 euro, a boat will take you across to the island and wait while you explore; you only get 20 minutes on the island, but it is quite small and that's plenty to take it all in. The boat is also unmarked, just look for the man trying to attract tourists! The fort is so quiet and all you can hear is the sound of the wind, the waves, and the boats. There are no panels or tour guides, you just walk around and explore where you will. I found it far more interesting than the Palamidi fortress on the hill!
4 euros to get the boat across to this old castle/prison. Quite eerie feel to it looking around .........shame there was no information boards as you go around......only downside was although there was only 4 of us, the boat owner only gave us 20 minutes to look around which wasn't long enough.great views of Nafplio from there.......and definitely worth a visit...
