Nafplio from the fortress

The view of the wonderful city of Nafplio from the Fortress of Palamidi. In the middle you can see the Venetian Bourtzi Castle, and the coastline of the Penopolese peninsula in the distance. The city is the most wonderful place to wonder around and get lost in. It is full of little alleys, shops and restaurants. And if you follow the coastline there is a wonderful walk (wall run for me) along the side of the hill.

Fortress of Palamidi

Here are a few more pics of the Fortress of Palamidi in Nafplio.

The wreck in the trees

I saw this boat moored in the trees on the beach just outside Nafplio. I’m pretty sure that it hasn’t been out to sea for quite some time. I just have to wonder what happened to in, and how it got into that state? I bet that at some stage it was sitting on a trailer and them somebody took the trailer and stripped the boat of anything useful and drive off, leaving the boat to slowly decay among the trees.
