Gorgeous little Napflion is a colourful town with an impressive fortress.














Bourtzi fortress is an impressive structure that is worth the short boat trip.
The Venetian fortress stands on the rocky islet of Agioi Theodoroi.
During the Venetian rule it was connected to Akronafplia through a huge metal chain that secured the port against enemy ship attacks.
Napflion itself is a maze of pretty streets, cafes and eye candy for a happy snapper like me!
It also holds the prestigious title of being the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834.










According to mythology, the town was founded by Nafplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone.










The hubby is not so sure about our new hire car . . ..
