Discover more about Lift to Naflia Palace

The Lift to Naflia Palace offers an alternative to the steep climb to the Acronafplia, Nafplio's ancient acropolis. This service provides easy access to the upper reaches of the city, where visitors can explore historical ruins and enjoy panoramic views of the Argolic Gulf, Bourtzi Castle, and the surrounding landscape. The Acronafplia has a history stretching back to the Bronze Age, serving as a settlement in its own right until the 13th century. Over the centuries, it has been controlled by various powers, including the Venetians, Franks, and Ottomans, each leaving their mark on its fortifications. Though the castle ruins aren't as extensive as Palamidi Fortress, the views are worth the visit. The lift provides a unique perspective of Nafplio as it ascends through the rock. Once at the top, visitors can explore the remains of the fortress, wander through the park, and enjoy the views. The Nafplia Palace Hotel is also located on Acronafplia.
