Of More Stairs and Nafplion

This post is basically a picspam of Nafplion. There’s really nothing much else but beautiful scenery around here. I wonder if the people living here ever get tired of it? Or at least, be immune to it. Nearly all the Greek students in the program are dying to leave the country; while we Americans would love to move here for this scenery can really be found nowhere else.

This morning we climbed the large, looming castle on the mountain overlooking Nafplion. The heat wasn’t too overwhelming and the journey was made infinitely more fun with everyone going together.

Yay friends! ♥

Of Stairs and Nafplion

I love stairways, particularly ones hidden in the middle of cities. They always look so mysterious and promising — cooome, climb me, I offer hidden landscapes away from the little ones down on the ground.

The first set of fascinating stairs are the ones in the Center for Hellenic Studies, the building where I’ll be working (and is hosting us students for this program). The stairs spiral upwards creakily to the attic, leading to an adorable little balcony where we interns like to sit, chat, and chill in the beautiful scenery.
