More Ermioni

High on a hillside, overlooking the harbor is the Ermioni Windmill.  It has been turned into a bar and restaurant.

And unless you are dangling from a helicopter out over the harbor, you cannot see the whole thing.  So...I just made sure I couldn't see the liquor bottles through the window just below that roof line and...voila! ~ Sandy

Now it's time to say goodnight.

Good night...good night...

Our favorite place...Ermioni

How could you not love it here?

Next stop, Epidavros

Seating 13,000 - 14,000 people, this theatre  from 300 BC is still in use today with festivals and concerts throughout the summer.  The small dot in the center is a woman singing a song and Dennis could hear her all the way at the top. One of the small dots on the bottom left is me.  This is truly an amazing place.  The theatre is only a small part of the excavation being done by the archeologists.

Fixing a Hole...

While wandering through the castle ruins, we found an ancient skylight.

The Castle

On top of one of the mountains, there are the remnants of an ancient castle.

Nafplio - the Bourtzi fortress

Turn around, and in the middle of the harbor is an island fortress. It is said that this fortress was used to house the executioners because they didn't feel it was smart to house them on the mainland.

Note, even in Greece there is graffiti. This bit of artwork is on the base of the light at the end of the pier.
