Bourtzi

Bourtzi is a Venetian sea fortress on a small islet in the harbour of Nafplio, begun in 1471 by the architect Antonio Gambello and strengthened after 1699 with a tall tower and gun bastions. In the 19th century it housed the town's executioner, and from the 1930s it held a small hotel. Today it is open to visitors, who reach it by boat from the Nafplio waterfront.
