April 27 2022 is for me the day of the first swim in the sea, for the new season! You probably don't care and it is irrelevant to this post but I am very glad about it and I wanted to share it :)
This post on the other hand is about a walk in the old town of Nafplio. I have told you, the previous days, that I am on vacation here and I have shared a few pictures in this post but today I want to invite you for a wider walk.
Let's find an opening in the medieval walls and sneak into this fairytale town!
Nafplio is one of the very few well preserved old towns in Greece that maintains a medieval aura and the locals have made a thriving tourist industry out of it. The extravagant renovations and the cute details are side by side to the neglected houses, especially to the upper part of the town.
The whole settlement is built on a steep hillside. The higher and more difficult to access part, is full of small hotels and a few houses of permanent residents. As you descent the stairway of the narrow streets you can find the commercial roads with a lot of shops and finally the sea!

Most of the buildings can be described as a work of art and walking in this town is a true delight. I could have been taking pictures with my eyes closed, in this fabulous scenery and I am sure that many of them would have been great :)
After reaching the sea level I took a round route and I ascended again to the gate I used to enter and a few meters behind it, the parking lot :)
This is my contribution to the #wednesdaywalk challenge, initiated by @tattoodjay :)
Have a lovely Wednesday!

Do you know that my childhood was spent in the sea!? I grew up on the South Coast of SA and literally every moment that I wasn't in school I was splashing in the waves. I only realize how much I miss it when I return. Which, these days may be once a year. So I most definitely do care that you celebrated your first day in the sea. How special. Other than that .... a fairytale destination indeed @fotostef
That's the case for Fotini too! Actually this is her hometown so you can imagine that she was even happier :)
Ah, yes I remember. We've noticed she and I have quite a bit in common. She must've felt like a dolphin back at the sea!
Such a charming and colorful place I love places like this
Still to cold fir me to be swimming in the sea here yet
