Προφήτης Ηλίας - Κυνόρτιο Όρος Δήμου Ασκληπιείουのおすすめライド

Under rated place. Great for hiking and cycling of course.

Methana. This was a hotel i was told that now is shut down.

I have no idea when the hotel closed. But it must have been a long time ago, and it must have had a glorious time. The lake in front of it is filled with sulfurous healing water and smells strongly of it.

The town of Methana is quite run-down and has nothing to offer, but the surrounding area, including the volcano, is beautiful. Unfortunately, you can only get there on foot, not by bike. Cycling on the peninsula is a sweaty experience. The climbs and descents are steep, enough to ruin your brakes. But a trip around it is definitely spectacular.

Nice descent....

Central Park of the city of Nafplio

Nauplia (Ancient Greek: ἡ Ναυπλία) was the port of Argos, in ancient Argolis. It was situated upon a rocky peninsula, connected with the mainland by a narrow isthmus. It was a very ancient place, and is said to have derived its name from Nauplius, the son of Poseidon and Amymone, and the father of Palamedes, though it more probably owed its name, as Strabo has observed, to its harbour. Pausanias tells us that the Nauplians were Egyptians belonging to the colony which Danaus brought to Argos; and from the position of their city upon a promontory running out into the sea, which is quite different from the site of the earlier Grecian cities, it is not improbable that it was originally a settlement made by strangers from the East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nafplio

This coastal city is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis and an important tourist destination. Founded in antiquity, the city became an important seaport in the Middle Ages during the Frankokratia as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The city was the second capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from 1827 until 1834.
