Nafplio
Nafplio or Nafplion or Nauplio is the capital of the Argolis region of Greece. From 1829 until 1834 it was the provisional capital of the newly independent country of Greece. The first Governor of Greece, as determined by the Great Powers of the time Britain, Russia, and France, called John Kapodistrias installed his government here. However, they were far from united and on 27th September 1831,…

Auf nach Griechenland – II
Tumblr media
Da wir beide uns auch fürs Laufen interessieren, durfte ein kurzer Abstecher in das rund 40 km von Athen gelegene Marathon nicht fehlen. Schade, dass die Griechen hier nicht besonders viel aus dem weltweit bekanntem Namensgeber des Marathonlaufes gemacht haben. Es befindet sich lediglich ein winziges und sehr altes Museum im Ort. Allerdings haben wir uns auf der gesamten Reise durch Podcasts sowie fleißiges Lesen von Claudi Einiges an Wissen zu Griechenland, den Olympischen Spielen und dem Marathonlauf anderweitig holen können. Für alle Interessierten hier noch ein Tipp für einen empfehlenswerter Podcast zur Geschichte der Olympischen Spiele der Neuzeit.

Die kommenden Tage ließen wir bei nun auch durchgängig sehr schönem Wetter entspannter angehen. Als wir Athen verließen, fuhren wir über den Kanal von Korinth auf die Halbinsel Peleponnes. Es folgten ein paar ruhigere Tage in Tolo. Die Besitzerin unseres Hotels ist super tierlieb und so konnten wir hier unser „Tierkuschelkonto“ sehr auffüllen. Besonders die älteste Hündin, war hier mit ihren 17 Jahren sehr streicheleinfordernd und süß. Ich unternahm auch einen Halbtagesausflug zum bekannten Theater von Epidauros, sowie die sehr schöne Altstadt von Nafplion.
Beim Joggen um Tolo musste ich leider auch eine nicht so schöne Seite Griechenlands sehen - den teilweise mangelhaften Umweltschutz. Auch wenn laut der unten gezeigten aktuellen Statistik Griechenland gar kein so schlimmer Mittelmeerverschmutzer sein soll. Bei dieser nicht abgedeckten – vielleicht illegalen? – Müllhalde wird der nächste Starkregen mit Sicherheit etwas Müll ins wunderschöne Meer befördern.

Nach den ruhigen Tagen in Tolo ging es weiter zu meinem persönlichen Highlight – der Mani. So wird das Ende des „mittleren Fingers“ der Peleponnes genannt und dies ist landschaftlich eine Augenweide. Zudem war es zumindest in unserer Reisezeit auch relativ menschenleer. Neben der wunderschönen Fahrt entlang der Küste unternahmen wir zwei kleine aber unglaublich schöne Wanderungen und gingen in Traumbuchten baden und sonnen.

Von der Mani aus fuhren wir dann weiter nordwestlich über Kalamata und den bekannten und wunderschönen Voidokilia Beach nach Olympia. Wie bereits in Marathon beschrieben, hätte man auch hier aus unserer Sicht deutlich mehr aus diesem namensträchtigen Ort machen können. Die Überreste des Olympischen Dorfes und des ersten Olympiastadions sind schön zu besichtigen. Ebenso sind alle gefundenen Statuen und Gegenstände in dem anschließenden Museum ausgestellt – aber leider fehlt hier jede Interaktive oder spannend gemachte Darstellung der Geschichte. Wäre dieser Ort etwa in den USA, würde dem Besucher mit Sicherheit ein ziemliches Spektakel geboten. Weder das Olympische Feuer wird vor Ort groß dargestellt, noch gibt es irgendwelche Animationen bzw. Kinovorführungen, die einen Eindruck von den Antiken Olympischen Spielen vermitteln.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Über die Rion-Antirion-Brücke verließen wir am kommenden Tag die Peleponnes und fuhren entlang der Küste zur letzten Station in Griechenland nach Parga. Dieses kleine, sehr malerisch gelegene Touristendorf hat wirklich einen tollen Charme. Von dort aus folgte eine lange Rückfahrt mit wenigen und kurzen Stopps in unserem geliebten Albanien sowie durch Montenegro, Bosnien und Herzegowina und Kroatien, bevor wir wieder in München ankamen.

I give you…my favorite part of Nafplio. There are no words to describe this view. You can stare at it for hours. I can’t believe a place like this exists. It looks like it’s out of a fairy tale. I also can’t believe this is my life. I want thank all of you who are hanging out with me on this expedition. I hope that what I’m doing inspires you in some way or shifts you to believe what is possible for yourself. Know that I am just a normal person who worked hard and saved a lot to make this possible for myself. I made sacrifices along the way. I also had a lot of help along the way, employers who took a chance on a fresh grad and inexperienced employee, friends and family who enabled and pushed me to be my best self, yet also allowed me be my true self, no matter how crazy my ideas were. Every little action was instrumental in me pushing myself further to this chapter of my life. If I can do it, you can do it too. Share with me in the comments what your big dream is and when you will take the leap of faith and just GO FOR IT. Let’s manifest your dreams for yourself together 🙌 #chasingcrystal #femaleriders #motorcycledream #sportbikelifestyle #ladyriders #motorcycles #womenwhoridemotorcycles #asianstyle #asiangirls #asianwomen #greece #greece🇬🇷 #visitgreece🇬🇷 #greecetravelgr #greecetravel #nafplio #nafplion #nafpliogreece #náfplio #nafpliongreece #nafplion_greece #nafpliocity #solotravel #solotraveler #solofemaletravel #ridingtheworld #ridegreece (at Náfplio, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCEFuQoo05/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Help me choose: Meteora/Metsovo/Ioannina or Mycenae/Nafplio/Epidavros? Thank you!
Those are seriously good options! I believe you would love either destination, so I will just give you what each place is ideal for.
Meteora - Metsovo - Ioannina
This is an itinerary that is ideal for nature lovers and people who love urban and provincial areas with strong traditional character in gorgeous natural settings.
Pros:
Meteora is hands down the best natural wonder of Greece.
It is also one of the two most important destinations for Christian Orthodox and post-Byzantine heritage monuments.
Metsovo is a town built in a high altitude, surrounded by beautiful mountains.
It has a strong traditional mountain Vlach Greek character and great cuisine.
Ioannina is the 6th largest city in Greece. It is vibrant, it is a university city, however it retains its own traditional character.
Ioannina is a lake city (which also features a must-visit inhabited lake island) built close to a lot of natural beauty and is the starting point for a lot of nature-oriented destinations, including two national woodland parks.
Ioannina is very significant for Ottoman Greek and Modern Greek history and has a lot of museums and cultural places to visit. Metsovo does too.
Ideal for a lush green spring or a cool summer.
Cons:
No access to the sea.
Farther from Athens than the other itinerary plan.
Probability of adverse weather if visited in cold months.
Tip: For Ancient Greek culture buffs, the archaeological site of Dodona is about 22km from Ioannina.
Tumblr media
Mycenae - Nafplio - Epidaurus
This itinerary is ideal for history buffs of all kinds.
Pros:
Mycenae is the best destination for the Mycenaean civilization.
Epidaurus has the best preserved ancient Greek theatre in Modern Greek territory and is in general one of the best destinations regarding Classical Greece. The theatre is functioning. (If you go at the right time during summer, you can watch a theatrical play there as well.)
Nafplio is the first capital of the Modern Greek state, it is coastal and has many points of interest regarding Modern Greek history.
Nafplio is also a good place to explore Venetian / Latin presence in Greece in the late Byzantine and post-Byzantine era.
Nafplio is much smaller than Ioannina but it is one of the prettiest cities in Greece. Both these cities are beautiful though.
Driving distances here are smaller as all destinations are in the same one administrative region (Argolis) and they are closer to Athens.
It might not have the wow factor of the other itinerary nature-wise, but that doesn't mean it does not have beautiful natural surroundings, and coastal ones too.
Ideal for early spring and a mild winter.
Cons:
If history and museum visiting get old for you after a point, the other itinerary might be better.
Pretty hot in summer months.
Touristy.

Everyone saying your name is a reference to the Prussian king Frederick the Great is clearly wrong.😂
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Greek governor Ioannis Kapodistrias who ordered that a whole shipment of potatoes be unloaded on public display on the docks of Nafplion, and placed it under guard to make the people believe that they were valuable.
why is "leader fake protects some potatoes" such a prevalent event in history
