And here is the last day of our stay in Nafplio.
I managed to make a whole plan of what we would do on that day. It was the last day and I wanted to see the most of the museums there. I made a very strict schedule and I was very obstinate to keep it. I am so happy hubby accepted that as he saw me so enthusiastic to see so many places not knowing if and when we will manage to do that again.
So after breakfast we started very early. Thank God it was a lovely day again!
We walked to Saint Nicholas church first.
Then we went to the Palamidis Library.We were looking for some Karaghiozis books.
Then we went to the
Archaeological Museum of Nafplio. You can see it
here too.
I was so impressed of what I saw in it.
Ancient shells....
...skeletons...
...vases and pottery vessels...
...porcelain impressed leaves....
...tiny amphorae....
....ancient pebbles....
....dolphin frescoes....
...ancient food....

....and we adored those huge masks.....

Leaving with our hearts full of this stunning museum....
...saying hi to this sweet pal....
...and realising that the financial crisis and the government measures have affected this place as well....
Then we looked at the
Vouleftiko, an old Parliament building next to the museum.
...And we moved on.....
