The Greek way

IMG_5131.jpg

Nafplio has many wonderful routes for walking and ever since I moved here, I have the daily pleasure to enjoy one of them. There is one though, by far my favourite! It is only one kilometre (0,6 mile) long but boy, is it beautiful!

The funny thing is that it is "forbidden" to walk on that route! There has been some falling of rocks in the past, that makes it dangerous. The authorities "solved" the problem the Greek way. They did nothing but closing the door and putting signs :)

And the people (locals and tourists) reacted the Greek way too. They ignored the sings and entered from the side :)

The start of the trail is right above the beach of Arvanitia. It is the beach that I usually go for swimming and I have shown in my blog more than once, including in my previous post.

The unusual location of this path makes it truly mesmerising! The wonderful sea of the Argolic golf on one side and an imposing vertical cliff, leading to the castle of Acronafplia, on the other, are creating a unique combination. Countless prickly pears hanging from the cliff, pine trees and wild vegetation are completing the puzzle of the scenery.

And happy walkers in between :)

The bright, winter sunshine made the walk even more pleasant than usual. The temperature was great for walking, the air was crystal clear and the light much better than the summer!

Everything was ideal :)

Every now and then, there are stone stairs leading to the sea, offering plenty swimming spots across the coastline, other than the beach itself!

The carved tunnel is one of my favourite spots in a route that I already love too much :)

On the end of the trail there is one more locked door to remind me the craziness of my country :)

Looks like summer over there. Great shots you have here. I like the one with the tiny church the most.

Oh, by the way, Romanians would do the same with dealing with such issues as falling stones and with respecting the warning signs.

You are right. I should probably have written the Balcan way, instead :)

When I see the photographs I understand why it is your favorite walking circuit, it is a very beautiful place to walk, dear friend @fotostef, what a shame they have closed it to the public, but the beauty makes people avoid the prohibition and continue walking there
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful morning

Such a beautiful place to go for a walk but the falling rocks sound dangerous! Probably worth the risk but better that they gated that area.

I would prefer if they made something to eliminate the danger rather than closing it altogether but it is what it is. And everyone one has to take his/her own risk!

Thank you for stopping by @xsasj :)

Yeah I totally agree with that! But it's probably to hard or too expensive. I can imagine that Greece has many places like this
