Nauplion (Nafplio), on the Argolic Gulf, served as the first capital of modern Greece (1829-1834) and is one of the country’s best-preserved Venetian and Ottoman-era towns. Its most striking landmark is the Palamidi Fortress, a massive complex of Venetian bastions built atop a steep hill overlooking the harbor in the early 18th century, offering commanding views over the town, the bay, and the small fortified islet of Bourtzi. In antiquity, the site was a harbor town serving nearby Argos and Tiryns, and it appears in mythology as the home of Nauplius, the legendary founder credited with giving the city its name. [Editor’s note: the original site had only a single labeled photo (Palamidi Fortress) for this page. This paragraph was drafted as a placeholder and should be reviewed\/expanded by Dr. Siegel.]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
