Bright sun this morning, but once again too chilly for breakfast on the outdoor terrace. Fortunately, it warmed up and we had a pleasant time in the sun at Mycenae, the hilltop acropolis built in 1600 BC.

We met Patty, our local guide, at the "Treasury of Atreus", just below the acropolis of Mycenae. This is a massive underground beehive tomb, the largest on the site, 40 feet tall at it's peak with an entry lintel that weighs 120 tons!

Mycenae was the home of King Agamemnon who led the Greek forces in the 10 year battle of Troy, concluded with the Trojan horse incident.

Returned to Nafpoli in time for lunch. We ate at one of the harbor side tavernas with what looked like half the population of the high school (lyceum they call it here, grades 10-12). Walked the harbor/cliff walk from town to the beach area. There's another abandoned hotel at the beach, not quite as big as the one near our pension.

Tonight we had a group dinner at a strictly local taverna, buried deep within the newer part of town, quite a distance from our pension, though easily walkable on this comfortable, windless night. We had a bunch of small plates to share, followed by a main course of pork that was spit roasted on a wood fire for 6 hours earlier today.

Dinner was accompanied by a duet of guitar and bouzouki; very talented musicians! After dinner, we were entertained by four dancers in traditional Greek garb.

Walked - 4.9 miles
