Greece Part III: We did so much in Greece that I needed to start a third post. We visited the Palimidi which is on a high hill above Napflion and was first fortified by the Venetians during the second Venetian occupation of the area (1686-1715). The most important monuments of the site are the Castle a Venetian defensive structure dated to the beginning of the 18th century. The Church of St. Andrew, built in one of the bastions of the fortress. It is a barrel-vaulted church with the eastern half built under one of the arches supporting the walls. The prison of Theodoros Kolokotronis, a hero of the Greek Revolution.



See the beautiful blue water in the background!



NAPFLION

We visited the town of Napflion which has a beautiful beach. The town is really cute and is a popular cruise ship destination. Ethan is ready for the beach!
