16:00 take the boat to See the Boutzi Castle.

During the summer season, the boats leave every day, from 10:30 until 20:30 (last return), until the end of September. From the end of October and during the winter, boats leave only on weekends. The public can visit the Bourtzi of Nafplio daily, Monday to Sunday. Operating hours from 9:00 to 20:00

Bourtzi Castle, located in the middle of Nafplio port, is a Venetian castle beloved by tourists. It was built in 1471 by Antonio Gambello, and later completer by engineer Brancaleone. The castle served as protection from enemies for many years but eventually turned it into one of the first tourist attractions in Greece during the 1930s. Its highlights include a hotel with twelve rooms, a restaurant that has been featured in international travel guides, and stunning views at sunset.
