 Streets of Nafplion Reveal Greek History
Though abandoned during Roman times, Nafplion was later repopulated and fortified during the Byzantine period, remaining under Byzantine control until seized by the Franks in 1210-- the first conquest in what would become a tumultuous six hundred year cycle of capture and capitulation at foreign hands.
In 1388, Nafplion was taken by the Venetians, who called it Napoli de Romanie and fortified it so securely that it resisted repeated Turkish attacks until finally handed over to the sultan in a peace treaty in 1540.
What makes Nafplion particularly intriguing to the historically-minded traveller is the way in which the many layers of its past are preserved in juxtaposition-- modern next to ancient, Byzantine mixed with the traces of Frankish, Venetian, and Turkish conquerors-- one stratum of history built on to another.
