Nafplio Catamaran Half Day Sailing Private Cruise

Thalassopyrgos or Kastelli by the Venetians and Bourtzi by the Turks, as it is better known, is a small islet in front of the port of Nafplio, directly opposite the coastal gunnery, completely covered by an old Venetian Fortress to which it owes its name.

It is located near the eastern shores of the Argolic Gulf, opposite Tolo. In the medieval text Chronicle of Monemvasia found inThe Iveron Monastery states that after the conquest of the Peloponnese by the Slavs, the inhabitants of Argos fled to the nearby island of Orovi, which most likely corresponds to Romvi.[1][2] Indeed, in the valley of the island, which has been relatively recently replanted, there are still today multiple remains of the medieval settlement as well as classical and pre-Christian relics, in some of which the walls have remained almost intact. On the southern side of the island there is an extensive bay with sandy shores. Just outside this bay is the rocky islet of Daskalio on which a chapel has been built, also from the period of the Kingdom of Morea.

The most famous and awarded for the umpteenth time with a “Blue Flag” beach in Nafplio. With two beautiful harbors, one south and one north, as well as a rocky islet in the middle, it makes the place ideal for a last stop.
