More about: Nafplion
In Athens, before hopping to the islands, we took a daily bus excursion to Epidaurus and Nafplion. The site of Epidaurus was nice, particularly the theatre. The museum was small and not well organized, but still interesting.
Nafplion was about an hour away from Epidaurus. It was a romanitc city and the Old Town remined me a lot of Corfu, you know with the narrow streets, the large squares, the tall bell towers, the old houses... The fortress surely gave the best views of the area and we took some pretty nice photos from up there. Bourtzi was also nice. I was surprised that a Medieval Castle in the middle of the sea was so well-maintained against the sea salt and the wind! Drink a coffee in the waterfront with view to the Bourtzi, it will be a memory to remember from Nafplion.
