September 9th: Nafplion at Leisure

Sadly today is our last day in this beautiful & charming country.  The day has been left entirely free for everyone to relax & spend at their leisure - whether it be swimming in the Aegean off the town's small beach, exploring any of the three castles, heading further afield to archaeological sites, or shopping in the many boutiques.
First thing this morning, before breakfast, some of the group gathered to tackle the climb (950+ steps) to the Palamidi Fortress - a tough workout repaid by wonderful views over the town & bay.
We'll rendezvous this evening to celebrate our time together & discuss the pilgrimage aspects of our travels, then enjoy a farewell dinner in one of Nafplion's best restaurants.

We few, we happy few...

We've all been enjoying the very civilized breakfasts in Nafplion
