Our program directors planned a week long trip for us to visit Nafplion (a city 2 1/2 hours away from Athens along the coast) and spend time researching at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies. I was and continue to be blown away by how beautiful Nafplion it is. Since it’s a city I’d never heard of I didn’t really know what to expect. It’s the sweetest little seaside town I think I’ll ever have the pleasure of visiting. Every cobblestone alley with vines and flowers draping from building to building are the definition of picturesque. I keep having to remind myself that I’m not walking around in a postcard because that’s what it feels like. The sunsets have been breathtaking every evening and I know I’ll miss them dearly once we head back to Athens.
