Travelers
Enjoy a boat ride to the iconic Bourtzi Fortress and finish your experience with a laid-back beach break at Karathona Beach—an ideal mix of sightseeing and relaxation for cruise passengers. Your tour begins at the Nafplio cruise port, located in one of Greece’s most picturesque coastal towns. From here, board a local boat for a short ride across the Argolic Gulf to Bourtzi Fortress, a striking Venetian-era stronghold built on a small islet at the entrance of the harbor. Accompanied by your guide, explore the exterior and learn about the fortress’s strategic role in Nafplio’s maritime history, while enjoying excellent views of the Old Town and coastline—perfect for memorable photos. After returning to shore, continue by vehicle to Karathona Beach, a peaceful bay known for its soft golden sand and crystal-clear waters. Relax comfortably with included sunbeds and umbrellas, take a refreshing swim, or simply enjoy the tranquil coastal atmosphere away from the crowds.
