A place that has been photographed a lot. I tried to see Nafplion from a different angle. The weather was windy with fluffy clouds and the sunset hour with rich colors was ideal for that. There is just a slight enhancement to the colors, (very very slight believe me), with PS at both photos # 035 & # 036.

Breathing sea breeze on the coast of Saronikos bay before heading for the The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus,which is situated within the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Asklepios, in Argolis - Peloponnese
The road to Epidaurus is like the road to creation. One stops searching. One grows silent, stilled by the hush of mysterious beginnings.
― Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi
One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (in eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece, Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834.
According to mythology, the town was founded by Nafplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone. The town’s history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War alike. The town declined during the Roman times and flourished again during the Byzantine times. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in the town and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions during the centuries. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments and statues, Ottoman fountains and Venetian or neoclassical buildings mesmerize the visitor with their unique architecture and beauty.
the Palamidi Castle, which proudly stands 216 m above sea level. In order to reach it you have to climb all of its 999 steps carved into the rock. Not to worry, though: the view from above here is totally rewarding! Venture into a place drenched in history, where the famous hero of the Greek Revolution Theodore Kolokotronis had been imprisoned; it seems as if its battlements -named after the renowned ancient heroes Themistocles, Achilles, Fokion, Leonidas, Epaminondas and Miltiades- are still carefully protecting the city. Agios Andreas battlement built at the top of the Castle by Venetian conquerors undoubtedly offers stunning views to the Argolic gulf and the Mycenaean plain.
Akronafplia is the historic rock at the foot of Palamidi hill, also known by its Turkish name “Its Kale” (meaning inner castle). Inhabited since prehistoric times, the peninsula consists of three levels, among which stand three independent castles, the oldest being the western one. It was there that the ancient acropolis was situated, fortified with polygonic Cyclopean walls.

Merbaka (Greek: Μέρμπακα), but officially Agia Trias (Αγία Τρίας, "Holy Trinity"), is a village in the province of Argolis.
The modern church of the Holy Trinity, first built in 1898, was demolished and rebuilt in 1934.
Of more interest is the ancient church of the Panagias built in the twelfth century. Unfortunately, we could not enter.
As a Fleming I read that Merbaka is named after a Flemish monk for William of Moerbeke, a 13th-century Roman Catholic archbishop of Corinth. (Wikipedia).

About the time Troy was besieged by the Greeks, this cyclopic arch bridge had already been in use for quite some time. The Arkadiko Bridge in the Argolis (Peloponnese, somewhere between Tyrins and Epidauros) is still in use. It is one of the oldest bridges still standing. This is also an 'old' photo, in fact one of the first ones I took with a digital camera. JPEG processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra.
