Today we had one more sunny and warm day, like the ones that don't belong in the middle of the winter bur rather in spring or autumn. But although I was out all morning, I didn't took my camera with me until the afternoon. Not the wiser choice since I started to take pictures just when the weather turned cloudy and windy! But no worries :)
As long as it doesn't rain (and it didn't), the old town of Nafplio is a safe place for photography, in every weather conditions!

The town is built on a steep hillside and it stretches from the port on the sea level, till the Venetian castle, way above. Today I walked in the upper neighbourhood which is a bit harder to reach and therefore less busy. Even myself that I don't mind a few stairs in my walk, I don't go there very often. And the truth is that it has a lot more than a few stairs :)
The other characteristic of this neighbourhood is that it is not fully renovated. So time-worn, or even abandoned houses, are side by side with the luxury ones that have been transformed into hotels or guest houses. Obviously the renovated ones are beautiful and most of them are made with good taste and respect to the original looks of the building. But I feel that the town is loosing its spirit and its character with all that renovations. But maybe I am just a cranky guy :)
At times you feel like flying when you walk in this part of the town. That's how much steep the incline of the hill is! And that's exactly what I like the most there! Floating among the different levels of the town and admiring the details of those antique houses!
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 850D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic .

The renovations can bring a different feeling, like losing that traditional, old touch. But they are needed, so maintain the houses, though if made in the old style then it is nicer.
The photo with the cat - it is like if he is greeting us :D
Yes of course, the renovations are a good thing for the town but there is something that annoy me. Maybe they make them too perfect or maybe it is the change of the use that usually goes with the renovations. I don't know, maybe it is just me.
When there is cat, she is always the star of the post :)

Happy new year! Thank you for stopping by :)
Through your photos I have seen that Nafplio, from modern to ancient, is beautiful 🤍. I must confess that I also like when the old architecture of places is preserved, it gives it that authentic and beautiful touch to the eye. I hope that despite everything it continues to maintain that beauty. 🙏🏻 Greetings. 😊
I am glad you like it! Since I live here there are going to be much more posts about Nafplio :)
Cheers!

Ευχαριστώ πολύ για αυτή την επίσκεψη στο Νάυπλιο. Ήμουνα εκει πριν 5 χρόνια και μου άρεσε πολύ. Χαίρομα πολυ να βλέπω αυτές τις φωτογραφίες🙂
Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά σου λόγια!
Πως και γράφεις στα Ελληνικά; Από την Τσεχία δεν είσαι;
Ναι, είμαι από την Τσεχία αλλά μαθαίνω Ελληνικά και θελώ τα Ελληνικά μου να είναι πιο καλύτερα. Πρέπι να μιλλάω πολή :)
Α, πολύ ωραία! Δεν ξέρω πολλούς που να προσπαθούν να μάθουν Ελληνικά. Καταλαβαίνω ότι είναι δύσκολη γλώσσα και δεν είναι εύκολο για κάποιον που δεν έχει μεγαλώσει εδώ, να την μάθει. Αλλά αν μπορείς να ταξιδεύεις στην Ελλάδα που και που, θα την μάθεις πολύ πιο εύκολα :)
Ναι, πραγματικά, είναι πολύ δύσκολη γλώσσα για μένα αλλά προσπαθώ. Νομίζω ότι είναι τόσο δύσκολη όσι Τσεχικά. Και πηγαίνω στην Ελλάδα πολέσ φορές κάθε χρόνο, μου αρέσει πολύ αυτή η χώρα - η θάλασσα, τα βουνά, οι άνθροποι,το φαγητό, τα πάντα :)
