🌿 A Special Hiking Experience with Historical Significance 🌿

BOA Base Outdoor Activities Hellas invites you to a unique hiking experience on March 23, just days before the National Holiday of March 25! Our hike will take place in the historic city of Nafplio, Greece’s first capital, where significant events of the Greek War of Independence unfolded. Take advantage of this opportunity to explore a city that played a central role in the formation of the modern Greek state!

  1. Exploring Palamidi with BOA:
    We begin at the imposing Palamidi Fortress, one of the most iconic monuments of the Greek War of Independence, where Theodoros Kolokotronis was imprisoned. We will explore the historical buildings of the fortress while enjoying stunning views of the Argolic Gulf, reflecting on the glorious moments of the Greek Revolution.
  2. Descent of the 999 Steps:
    The descent from Palamidi via the 999 steps is a historic route that leads to the heart of the city. As we descend, we will enjoy views of the city and the sea, remembering the struggles for freedom that began here.
  3. Arvanitia Coastal Route:
    We continue along the Arvanitia Path, following a seaside route that connects the historic city to the crystal-clear waters of the Argolic Gulf. The landscape is enchanting, and the trail allows us to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature and the sea.
  4. Return to the Old Town:
    Our tour concludes in the Old Town of Nafplio, where we will pass by historical buildings and monuments linked to the early period of liberated Greece. Nafplio was the first capital of the newly established Greek state and remains a city rich in culture and tradition.
