We had a nice stay in Nafplio! \u00a0This weekend there is an International Yacht Festival in town and many huge yachts and sailboats have arrived and are lining the harbor. \u00a0It was quite something to see!<\/p>\n

While in Nafplio we enjoyed a visit to the Archeological Museum and then drove to Tiryns, a Mycenaean fortress-palace nearby. \u00a0The fortress walls are made of huge irregular blocks of stone of different sizes. \u00a0They are called Cyclopean because the stones are so large that (according to legend) they must have been moved and positioned by Cyclopes! \u00a0The site is fascinating to visit.<\/p>\n

Today the drive to the port town of Gythio took about 2 hours and 30 minutes. \u00a0This is where Helen fled with her lover Paris in the elopement that sparked the Trojan War! \u00a0We\u2019ll explore the pleasant waterfront and take a couple of day trips from here.<\/p>\n

The internet signal here isn\u2019t very strong so fingers crossed we\u2019ll be able to post a few photos along the way!<\/p>\n
