L'isthme de Corinthe est une étroite bande de terre reliant la Grèce centrale au Péloponnèse, tandis que le canal qui y a été ouvert relie le golfe Saronique au golfe de Corinthe. Il mesure environ 6 kilomètres de long et son point le plus étroit se trouve là où le canal de Corinthe a été construit (1880-1893). C'était un point stratégique, et c'est pourquoi un mur avait été construit dès l'Antiquité (fin du Ve siècle av. J.-C.), qui a été préservé jusqu'à l'époque byzantine (Hexamilion).

Bourtzi est un château situé sur l'îlot d'Agios Theodoros, au cœur du port de Nauplie, à environ 400 mètres de la jetée. Le nom « Bourtzi » est resté le même, d'origine turco-arabe et signifie « île-forteresse ». Il est la marque déposée de Nauplie, avec le château de Palamidi. Son nom le plus ancien, celui des Vénitiens, était « Castello dello soglio » et celui du port « Porto di cadena », car chaque nuit, cinq frères remontaient le rempart d'Acronauplie jusqu'à Bourtzi, une chaîne qui fermait le port pour des raisons de sécurité. Les Turcs l'encerclaient ensuite de « porpela », une barrière sous-marine de pierres, empêchant ainsi l'accès aux grands navires. Pour visiter Bourtzi, vous pouvez utiliser les petites embarcations du port de Nauplie. Le trajet depuis le port est de seulement 10 minutes, soit 20 minutes de navigation. Le prix du billet est de 4€.

Palamède est une forteresse située à l'est de l'Acronauplie, dans la ville de Nauplie, dans le Péloponnèse, au sud de la Grèce. Nichée au sommet d'une colline de 216 mètres d'altitude, la forteresse fut construite par les Vénitiens lors de leur seconde occupation de la région (1686-1715). Ce projet ambitieux et de grande envergure fut achevé relativement rapidement, de 1711 à 1714. C'est une forteresse baroque typique, conçue selon les plans de l'ingénieur vénitien Antonio Giancix et construite par l'ingénieur militaire français Pierre de la Salle. En 1715, elle fut prise par les Ottomans et resta sous leur contrôle jusqu'en 1822, date à laquelle elle fut reprise par les Grecs.
