LE ROCHEFORT - Harbour yacht from 1787 1:36 by Tobias (Monograph by ANCRE)

Hi @GrantTyler , yes, I can only agree with you—it’s not really my kind of city either. Far too many people crammed into one spot. @dockattner , you are absolutely right; when it comes to graffiti, things are extreme. Everything is completely plastered with it—from cars, traffic signs, and walls, right down to entire buildings. However, this isn't just the case in Athens; it’s a trend that runs throughout the entire country. The Greeks also have a problem with trash and waste disposal; everything just gets dumped anywhere. I took quite a few photos of it, because otherwise, no one would believe you. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful country with the friendliest people. That’s my verdict after nearly three weeks in Greece! Tomorrow, we’re hopping back on the ferry bound for Italy, and then we’ll be heading on to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii. Finally, here are a few photos of Nafplio.

Regarding the two small private yachts in the harbor of Nafplio: they belong to the Crown Prince of Dubai, are valued at 1 billion US dollars, and have annual maintenance costs of 100 million US dollars.
