Beautiful village of Nafplion

We arrived in the small village of Nafplion at 10:30. It is the oldest settlement in Greece. It was absolutely beautiful. I would rather stay here than go back to Athens on Monday!!! When this village was built the people had great influence from the Italians which its buildings reflect. Nafplion has a castle built on peek of its Mountain top that is thousands of years old. There are 867 steps to the top. Ms Iten wasn’t up for making that trip and neither was I for that matter.








Out in the middle of the harbor of Nafplion is a small castle. This was built by the ruler of Nafpolian to house the murderers of the area. A few years ago it was turned into a hotel.

 This was the first high school of Greece. It is now the present day Town Hall.


Across the street from Town Hall is the village school.
