Napflio 2015



Napflio was once the captial city of Greece. It is known for its 3 fortresses. We weren't able to find a water taxi to take us to Bourtzi Fortress, on the islet in the background.

We decided to tackle the highest fortress, Palamidi.

Bourtzi is in the water, we are looking down from Palamidi, and the third fortress is to the left, Akronafplia.

Of all the high-up places we visited, this turned our stomach the most as the kids leaned over to see below. And Evya wanted to walk this wall like a balance beam. Uh, no.
