Nafplio, Palimidi Fortress
Palamidi is fortress to the east of the town of Nafplio in Greece. The fortress is situated on the top of a 216 metre high hill and was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686-1715). In 1715 it was captured by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822 when it was captured by the Greeks. There are 913 steps winding up the hillside from the town to the fortress, however to reach the top of the fortress the total is 1000. Quite a climb. Bev went shopping.
