Here's pictures from the trip to Nafplio including the castle tour, downtown pictures and
the wine tasting tour for the international students at Deree!
Brief Castle Architecture History :
Based off of Venetian architecture; therefore it gave off a medieval Italian history vibe to the layout and design. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834.

Went off by myself for a while *cough*(in search for the Holy Grail)*** to take pictures...........
Climbed ahead of the group to snap some pictures and offroad exploring.
This is the prison where the first President of Greece was held for 3 weeks. I can only imagine how the damp, cold stone got to his head during that duration of sentencing.
The Mediterranean Sea!
Walking towards our lunch, Aurora's pretty flowered hair.

And on the otherside.. the Sea :-)
The water's temperature was really cold at the time being that its winter season still however it was flawless and really refreshing.
Here is a view of a wine cellar where we got a tour of how wine is made and stored. Really cute winery we got to experience.
