Slated by guidebooks as the prettiest town in the Peloponnese, it was true to its reputation. Both the old town and the waterfront are so pleasant. There were so few tourists around at this time of the year. It is more frequented by Athenians who spends their weekends and holidays here. We asked the taxi driver if there were a lot of foreign tourists around. He replied, 'mono Greeks.' The expression was surprising, he used 'mono' instead of solo or maybe to us, being so used to Spanish, would use 'solo' instead of 'mono'.
How many kinds of ouzo is there?
The narrow streets, the buildings being built close together means its cooler in summer.
It's all Greek to us!
Orthodox priests are a common sight all over Greece.The Palamidi castle is up on top and we would get to climb the 900 steps to get there.... not really. We cheated.
There is a castle out in the sea. Castles and fortifications are a common sight all over the Peloponnese. It showed the troubled history of the area.
Again, its all Greek to me.
