We left Athens and arrived in Napthion. I remember the first time I ever came here out of the northern mountains on a bus on Easter, where the smell and smoke of lamb hung over the town like a fog. Things are a lot less provincial now but the town is no less charming. There are several fortifications, a huge one overlooking the town that kids challenge each-other and themselves to climb, and and an old Turkish fort in the harbor.
The town is alive; people live here, not just entertain four hour visitors.There is a large, wide dock-front with restaurants. There are kids everywhere, small streets with tiny businesses and a bustle. The weather is lovely. The town is quite old--a common stop in Peloponnese where people visit Mycenae and Epidarvos. Some backpackers as well. We had a lunch on a small square with a soccer game and no graffiti.
Back on board we had another wonderful dinner.
There is a casino on board, mostly empty except for a few Asians. Saw the Penn State-Va game there.
