Monemvasia, a unique medieval fortress town on a rocky island off the Peloponnese coast in Greece.

Connected to the mainland by a bridge, no cars are allowed beyond the city gate. All on foot, compacted and preserved from the Byzantine and Venetian times. Quite an experience to stay overnight there.

Try off season.

A #royalbarge is a vessel that is used by a monarch for ceremonial processions, and (historically) for routine transport, usually on a river or inland waterway. It may also be known as a state barge, and may be used on occasion by other members of a royal family, heads of state, or particular VIPs. #venetian

Then here is the original #Venetian #recipe of the #gravy used to dress boiled dolphin ears since the Middle Age!

— 2 liters of WD-40
— ½ kg of Murano glass, finely smashed
— #garlic
— #parsley

Grind all together for 42 minutes with mortar and pestle, freeze at -75℃ for two hours, then place this cream over the boiled dolphin ears while still warm.

A view from the Venetian fortress Palamidi atop a 216m hill overlooking the town and the Argolic Gulf. You can’t beat it!

Constructed between 1686 and 1715.

My favorite town, Nafplio, Peloponnese, Greece
