Akronafplia is the oldest part of the city of Nafplio in Greece. Until the 13th centery it was a town of its own. The arrival of the Venetian and the Franks transformed it into part of the town fortifications. Later, part of it was used as a prison until the Greek goverment decided that the view provided from its location would benefit the local tourism and built a hotel complex which still stands there today.
