... is.From there we traveled south to Napfoli and a beautiful mideval city. The town is a seaside trading port once occupied by the Venitians from 1100-1700. It is capped by an intact fort 998 steps up( we counted all of them) the side of the cliff above town. Everyone was enthralled by their imagination while walking within the walls. The entrace walls were all capped by the Venetian lions. There were turrents and tunnels throughout and Jon and Jackson especially had fun exploring each ...

... happily. The day is spent mostly out in nature. <br><br>We visited the beautiful beach of KORASIDA in EVIA today. I wish I had taken my swimming suit along. Two or three people were swimming, although they admitted that the waters were cold !!! <br><br>I picked wild flowers and made our wreath which later on I hanged on the door of our house as the tradition says !!! <br>The fields were filled with all sorts of wild flowers and mostly popies.

... what I was looking at. The most impressive to me were the tholos (circular chamber-type) tombs. You can still walk inside these structures, which used to house the royal remains of Aegisthus, Klyemnestra and Agamemnon. Back in Nafplio, I took the steep climb up 890-plus stone steps to the 216-metre summit of the Palamidhi fortress. The view from the top of this fortress was absolutely breath-taking! After I climbed back down, I rewarded myself with a ...

... in Rhodes. I spent my time in Rhodes getting lost in Old Town, relaxing on another beach, and at Trinton Holiday agency where it took some time booking my next hotel in Kos but I was rewarded with some great service from the workers there. After a short ferry to Kos, I arrive at the hotel and began my stay in Kos Town. I rented a bike one of the days and peddled around island (it &#305;s described as a smaller version of Rhodes ...

... From Wikipedia: The name of the athletic long-distance endurance race, the "marathon", comes from the legend of Pheidippides, a Greek soldier, who was sent from the town of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been miraculously defeated in the Battle of Marathon in 490BC. According to Herodotus, the Greeks were outnumbered 100,000 to 11,000 and won thanks to the military genius of Miltiades. It is said that he ...

We went onboard the Anna Maru for the 1 day cruise to the Saronic Islands - Poros, Hydra and Aegina. The ship was crowded with people of all nationalities. We sat at the deck enjoying the winds. Our first stop was Poros - also known as the island of Poseidon. It was a beautiful ...

... my Pythagoras cup here. I am intrigued by how every item has its own little story or myth behind it. The stories certainly had the power to make the things that were novel to us seem even more mysterious and alluring. I knew I had fallen in love with this place. We arrived at Olympia and checked into Ilis Hotel. It wasn't too impressive a hotel but we enjoyed the coziness. :)

... crystal waters. I remember that I wished I were in her shoes!!! However it was impossible to leave the others and get in the water. I could feel that sense of cold water when you are tired and desperately want to fresh up. In some places the water is deep!! The walk is reaching to its end, and we wish it would be more!!! However we are really hot from all this walking and we are pleased when we see the blue sea of the Aegean right in front of us!!! We are ...
