Nafplion is a seaport town in Peloponnese,near the north end of the Argolic gulf.It was also the capital of Greece from 1829 to 1834(after greek revolution -war of indipendence-aganist Ottomans) .Top attraction is the Palamidhi Fortress that dates back centuries;to join it you have to climb the 700 vertical feet (899 stairs) up to the entrance of the fort ,also Bousidri island is quite nice(i saw it only from the harbour).The Archaelogical museum is interesting too(i haven't been there,only outside),it's located in the beautiful 18th-century Venetian arsenal that dominates Plateia Syntagma.Just exploring Nafplion's narrow side streets can be loads of fun. There seems to be something unique around every corner.

the castle was built by venets (after they won turks) in 1686.

mpourzti is a fortress, located 300 meters from the old city of nafplio!

nafplio is magic!

is maybe the most beautiful city of greece! its near to athens (2 hours drive), by the sea & u feel like going back in time when ur there!

nafplios was the sun of posidon +the myth sais he 1st build that city! for many years nafplio was a place hold by veneti (the italians of the 18th century), thats why nafplio reminds an old italian city!  this city was the 1st capital of greece (from 1828 to 1834). fortunatelly the capital was moved in athens & nafplio remained the same... like time stood still... beautiful buildings, little roads to walk that turn u back in time, statues of important people of the early history of modern greece remind to the visitor the glory that once the town had! the old city is so beautiful that i felt  that no picture is able to capture the beauty around me... but at least i tried!

The isthmus of Corinth is the narrow landbridge which connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the mainland of Greece, near the city of Corinth. The word "isthmus" comes from the Ancient Greek word for "neck" and refers to the narrowness of the land. To the west of the Isthmus is the Gulf of Corinth, to the east the Saronic Gulf. Since 1893 the Corinth Canal has run through the 6.3 km Isthmus, effectively making the Peloponnese an island.
Epidaurus. Reputed to be the birthplace of Apollo's son Asklepios, the healer, Epidaurus was known for his sanctuary situated about 8 km from the town, as well as its theater, which is once again in use today. The cult of Asklepios at Epidaurus is attested in the 6th century BC, when the older hill-top sanctuary of Apollo Maleatas was no longer spacious enough.
The Asclepieion at Epidaurus was the most celebrated healing center of the Classical world, the place where ill people went in the hope of being cured. To find out the right cure for their ailments, they spent a night in the enkoimitiria, a big sleeping hall. In their dreams, the god himself would advise them what they had to do to regain their health. Found in the sanctuary, there was a guest house for 160 guestrooms. There are also mineral springs in the vicinity which may have been used in healing.The prosperity brought by the Asklepieion enabled Epidauros to construct civic monuments: the huge theater that delighted Pausanias for its symmetry and beauty, which is used once again for dramatic performances, the ceremonial Hestiatoreion ( banqueting hall), baths and a palestra.The theater is marveled for its exceptional acoustics, which permit almost perfect intelligibility of unamplified spoken word from the proscenium or skene to all 15,000 spectators, regardless of their seating. Famously, tour guides have their groups scattered in the stands and show them how they can easily hear the sound of a match struck at center-stage.
Mycenea. In the second millennium BC Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece. The period of Greek history from about  1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. Mycenaean culture is the source of ancient epics and legends such as the dynasty of Atreids, the labours of Hercules, the Trojan war, the Thyestian Feast, and Agamemnon's tragic life and death
Mycenae is on a hill, with taller hills on all sides. You can see ruins of city walls, and the Acropolis above that. Not much is left now, but in its heyday the city was highly defensible.
The Lions Gate is the main entrance into the city. The lions, with their fore paws on an alter of some sort was suppose to represent the mycenaean's power. Anyone coming to the Acropolis would have to enter through these gates. Also notice the walls on the right hand side had the people walking by them. I'm amazed at how these things could have been moved.
Once in Mycenae, you must visit the "Treasury of Atreus", which is a short walking distance opposite the palace, across from the main road. It is easily accessible from the road and many people opt to walk from one place to the other. The Treasury of Atreus is a large "Tholos" Tomb, also known as the "Tomb of Agamemnon" which, was built around 1250 BC, and it is an impressive monument worth visiting.You can enter by showing the ticket you bought at Mycenae. I entered the tomb and I was awe struck at the beauty of the arched walls, and the scale of the structure.
