Beaches
Arvanitia Beach is a small pebble beach just 10 minutes' walk south of town, tucked be-
side the Akronafplia fortress. If you're feeling energetic, you can follow a path east
around the coast for about an hour (roughly 3km) to sandy Karathona Beach , at the far
side of the Palamidi fortress. The walk is extremely pretty, as would be the beach if it
weren't for the litter.
