A Scenic Breakfast in Nafplio, Greece

Показать описание
We're in Greece, where we just wrapped up filming our Easter special for public television. And, while Easter may seem like old news to you, it was just yesterday here in Greece. Because Eastern Orthodox Christians use a different calendar than western Christians, Orthodox Easter was a week later this year...making it possible for our crew to be in two places — Italy and Greece — on the "same day."

I'll be reporting on Greek Easter for the next few days. While some countries do Christmas with more gusto, it’s clear Greece (along with Spain) pulls out all the stops for Easter. We decided to focus on the action in my favorite small Greek town, Nafplio.

My longtime favorite hotel in Nafplio is Pension Marianna, run by Petros Zotos and his brothers. Here’s a zippy review of their amazing breakfast (fresh from the Zotos family farm, and very organic), followed by a peek at the view from their rooftop breakfast terrace.

At the end, you'll notice me stumbling over the words for “good day” (kalimera) and “squid” (kalamari). As a clueless tourist, I often get my day off to an embarrassing start by greeting people with a cheery, "Squid!"

OMG!  Why am I not there instead of here?  The food, the people, the land, the history!

Nafplio is one of the most beautiful greek towns, good choice to show Nafplio.Greeks keep many traditions and what they mainly eat during the Easter is the lamb (spit).

Amazing views! I would love to soak in that view while having a delicious, homemade breakfast and chatting with the locals. Lovely!

I was in that town for about 5 or 6 years ago for 2 weeks. The city is beautiful. There is nice stony beach very close to the town. The beach is very close to the middle of the city. From there you can take two walkways. First one will take you to the lighthouse. The second one is much longer (it took me at least 2 or 3 hours) to get to the second beach which have beautiful, warm, white sand, lots of beach chairs and big umbrellas. You can also drive there by car, but I was too young to remember what direction to go, but I'm sure you will find it. The city comes to live at evening. Kids are playing with their parents and eating dinner. I would love to go there again in the future.
