In the time of the first Venetian<\/strong> occupation a sea wall had been constructed where the modern shore is now, leaving only a narrow channel between itself and the Bourtzi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This channel was closed at night by a chain<\/strong>, and for this reason the port was called Porto Catena; in other words, the port with the chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The port of Nauplion was developed inside the area created by the wall<\/strong>, and was one of the most important trading points in the Peloponnese<\/strong>, except during the time of the second Turkish occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little further down from the \u2018Amphitrion Hotel\u2019<\/strong>, about half way down the shore, there was a large 18th century water tank<\/strong>. It was one of the most impressive of the Venetian constructions in the city.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today<\/strong>, the shore is the ideal place for one to relax in one of the beautiful cafes and enjoy the view towards the Bourtzi, especially at sunset; one may even take a romantic stroll.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact location of the shore can be found below.<\/p>\n<\/div>
