		The first is the walk around the âpointâ at the western end of the town, which takes you on a path overlooking the Gulf at the base of great cactus-covered cliffs on which the Akronafplia fortress stands.
		Another discovery that we made in Nafplio, with the help of notes in the apartment, were the elevators to the top of the Akronafplia, where there are now luxury hotels (much to the dismay, we gather, of some archaeologists).
