We spent 6 days in the city of Nafplio and visited a couple of its beaches<\/a>, explored its centre<\/a>, and roamed two of its fortresses, Palamidi<\/a> and Akronafplia<\/a>. Where did we stay and how was day-to-day life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed in an two-bedroom apartment that was a short walk to the peninsula. Our very first adventure was when we attempted to access the parking space<\/a> that came with the apartment. We parked on the street for the duration of our stay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the nice things in the apartment was the wraparound balcony. It was narrow, but a great spot from which to watch the locals live their lives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We could access the balcony from the living room, the kitchen, and the master bedroom. We also used it to dry our laundry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Felix even found a bird’s egg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Due to some technical issues, we lost a bunch of photos and movies. Fortunately, Lara had been FaceTiming with Aunt Mary, and showed her around, and so we have the following pictures of the apartment thanks to Lara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facing the entrance to the apartment. We never ate at this dining room table, this space was our storage zone. \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Off the dining room (on the left) and the living room (on the right) a hallway leads to the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Second small bathroom. The main bathroom had the shower and the washer. We came to really appreciate the rentals that had two bathrooms (almost all had one bathroom).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The kids’ bedroom. I think Neil slept in the top bunk a couple of nights, while a kids slept with me in the other bedroom. The door to the room squealed atrociously, and it got louder over time. We finally resorted to pouring olive oil through a funnel on the hinges to resolve the issue – too bad we lost the video of that. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Our kitchen. Space is tight, but for some reason, we ate all our meals here, squished around the little table.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A small selection of what we ate. Feta here is totally unlike what we buy at the store in Canada. And the fresh lemons, tomatoes, and cucumbers were incredibly tasty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One of the decent and inexpensive gelato places we found tucked away on a side street.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lidl was our goto grocery store. We had to talk Lara out of these giant drill bits! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The coolest thing we found was the bread slicer, for use by customers, in the grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
