Submitted by Julia Diamond the 2024 Spring program in Athens, Greece…
Week 11 3/19-3/25
This weekend was another of the study abroad program’s excursions. This time we went to Nafplion, a city in the Peloponnese and Greece’s first capital. It was another beautiful day weather wise, and the city was on the water so it was really nice there. When we got there we walked up one of the city’s three fortresses, Akronauplia, and the view of the city from there was incredible. We then got to walk through the city with a guide and hear more about its history as we made our way towards the water. Then we got to have lunch with a ton of good food before having free time to walk around the city. It is a super cute place and I would definitely go back at some point and visit the other fortresses. Also, on our way back to Athens we drove by a herd of goats which was really cool and kind of funny, I’ve never seen anything like it back home. (Submitted on March 28, 2024)
