Exploring Greece (Part 3)

Now the time has come to finally conclude this already two entry long story which is just screaming for its end to make it a whole. And one more thing that probly needs mentioning here is that this is the last entry on this topic.

So after Mycenae came Nauplion Which was the first modern age capital of Greece before Athens. The city itself wasn't so big but it did have a feeling of peace and tranquillity which is come to think of it is quite odd because the city not only had one but two 12th century forts in it. Never the less it was a nice place and the sea food which we got there wasn't bad at all which is a big thing for me cause I actually hate sea food. But in Greece everything had a different taste well the fish probably did because they were caught fresh just that morning and by lunch it was already on my plate.

Then the next stop was Epidaurus which can be considered as an ancient form of insane-asylum which if we think about it was well before psychology was first introduced. The stange thing was that it didn1t even look a bit like an insane-asylum because it had everything which every ancient citizen could get in a city. So Epidaurus can be caonsidered as an isolated city for the mentally ill. Another interesting thing is that this was the only such city in ancient times so probably a lot of people from distant landes came here also seeking salve.

It was time to leave the capital from where we explored the Southern part of Greece however the way back to the North of the country also had a lot of sites to see even though by then we thoght that we have seen everything worth seeing. But only now came the most mystical places that Greece has to offer. First up was Delphoi home to legendary oracle that has shaped the lifes of all who ever went there for guidance. I didn't really get to felll the spirituality of Delphoi maybe because I am pretty sceptic about these paranormal beliefs.

Then before heading to our final destination before heading home we spent the night in a hotel which had a perfect view at Mount Olympus which is where our final trip will lead us. The day has finally arrived and we were all set to explore the home of the ancient Greek Gods. On thing was very interesting that we could never see the top of the mountian where the gods are said to live. However we did see the Bathtube of Zeus which is a beautiful mountain spring and is said that it's water has mystic powers. I can tell you if it has hasN1t Mystic powers but one thing is for sure that it quenched my thrist after that long walk up Mount Olympus.

Since there was nothing more to see in Greece we packed up and went home the way we came from with a Little detour through Thessaloniki which was named after Alexander the Greats' sister and also home to the Tower of Winds. And after buying souvenirs at every stop on the way home we finally reached the Hungarian border and were welcomed home by a beautiful sunset.

So this is the end of this very long story ends I hope I managed to give everyone a clear picture about just how interesting Greece really is. And thank you for everyones attention.
