TRAVEL GREECE (day 5)

Corinth - Epidaurus - Nafplion


morning
We left the Marble horrible house, breakfast in Masai , as usual and we took the subway to the airport to pick up the rental car, which was van and we started towards the Corinth Canal .


First disappointment that the environment is very decadent, but the truth is that the channel is awesome. But the channel environment is an old forgotten glory of tourism, with more seats than previously closed business would be overflowing with tourists, some still open, dirt, rust on all metal, neglect ... Then we were walking to another area where a yacht was about to sail, and we sat a while watching the stunning blue of the Aegean Sea, hoping to see a large ship passing the channel, we get it later while we ate.


ate on a terrace beside the canal full of cats zampone with refined tastes. We ate some fish and then travel to our next destination: The Theatre of Epidaurus .

The site has an impressive sound. Entry to all other scenarios tour includes the ancient city, apart from the theater and costs 6 € for everything. We arrived late and were only in the theater. We were there until closing time, watching the place, climbing and down, singing to test the acoustics.

This beautiful area of \u200b\u200bEpidaurus


We took the car to find accommodation in a nearby town and we happen to Nafplion, and hallucinate. It is a small resort town where many cruise ships stop, and it is beautiful: narrow streets, balconies full of authentic and hills, churches and cafes and beautiful terraces. As idyllic blue sea background and medieval castle.

recommending chose a hotel phone National Geographic,: Byron Hotel. A luxury compared to the Marble House.

Nafplio has a history of medieval fortifications, castles etc, and a port. Highly recommended to go on holiday and only 1:30 am in Athens.

had dinner in a very modern restaurant, with stunning decor and regional dance performance included in the terrace.

Nafplion photos I is reserved for the next post ...

After dinner we went directly to an ice cream shop we had seen while looking for a restaurant, to eat an ice cream curious, we tried all the flavors that we find attractive. And then we went for a coffee in a lovely terrace, where did the story of the day:


We sat part of the group on a terrace and the other half in another, because there was almost no separation. The waitress could not speak English and did not understand I wanted to say: I wanted to say was that, we were sitting some in another cafeteria. In the end he got angry because not understand. Wonder if you know French, says yes. So I say "That est ce que ce?? Sure it sounded brusquely and turned to mosques and left angry, total in the end the owner came to tell us in English. "Sorry, this part of the group is in The Other Pub, and you and your friend in my Pub .." (laughter and general descojone '). Above the girl is wrong then bring us what he asked and as the climax shot over water mobile Si. What a disaster to meet!

BYRON HOTEL - TRAVEL

The first sensation to find (it took us a good ratillo due to the labyrinth at the same time charming streets of Nafplion) was vagrancy. A long staircase to climb suitcase in hand.





The funniest moment of the luggage, we came with our rented van, and the kid in all of the group and went to park, before the astonished gaze of two ladies in a robe that looked at us with eyes in the tiny cocks potato daughters are brought up driver (if you know ladies ...).


After what was found in Athens to open doors of our rooms, finding this hotel was a relief. The great line when entering the bathroom was "The shower has a screen! Also had pressure bulkhead, window, ventilation, cleaning .... ahhhh a luxury of 2 square meters.

In the room had everything: telephone, terrace, heating, wardrobe, where to put the suitcases ... comfortable mattresses.



chose a quadruple room girls, as it was quite large and only going to spend the night, and individual travel for our boy.

One part I liked about this hotel was the balcony, overlooking all the roofs of the lower part of Nafplion, a very very old temple on my right, opposite a church. A corner of the most authentic and relaxing. (Especially if you're afraid of bats ... lol).






not tell me that NO ES delightfully!

As for the service and the attention of the hotel, the little I know is the tratro received was friendly and the reception guy spoke good English. But just because we pay, we use the room and left.
