Tolo,
Assini, Drepano - Greece
|
The
first seaside village you meet on leaving Nafplio is Tolo, situated
on a picturesque bay. Its seafood tavernas overlook the water. You take
a bite and inhale the salt breeze. You listen to the put-put of the little
mortboats chugging over to the islet of Romvi opposite. The more romantic
travellers will want to head for Assini, which inspired one of Nobel
prize-winning poet George Seferis' most beautiful poems. A sheer rock at
the water's edge adorned with remnants of the distant past. Here stood
the acropolis of ancient Assini mentioned by the first Greek poet, Homer.
Ten
km. from Nafplio the road passes through the coastal village of Drepano,
drenched in orange and lemon trees. |
