Tolo Bay , Greece
Version en français plus bas
Tolo in Katharevousa known as Tolon is a small picturesque village in Greece on the Peloponnese peninsula. It is part of the municipal unit Asini, in ArgolisThe bay of Tolon (part of the Argolic Gulf) was first written about by Homer, as was Asini in the Iliad, named as one of the cities whose fleet took part in the Trojan War. In the centuries to come the bay of Tolon gave refuge to battle ships at various times and then during the Byzantine period was revived as an auxiliary port to Nafplio.
Following the Fourth Crusade and the break-up of the Byzantine Empire (1204 AD), along with the rest of the Peloponnese, the area came under Frankish rule until 1389 AD, when it was then taken over by the Venetians, and in 1540 AD to the Ottomans. In the 1680s, during the Morean War, the alliance between the Venetians, the Germans, and the Polish against the Ottoman Empire, the chief of the allied forces, Vice-admiral Francesco Morosini was ordered to capture the capital of the Peloponnese, Nafplio at that time, and the bay of Tolon was chosen as a place suitable as a base of operations for his expedition as it was the safest place in the region, while the shore was used for the army to camp. After the success of his expedition and until 1715 AD, when the area was again occupied by the Turks, Tolon was used as a secondary naval station for the Venetian fleet.

A monument of this time is the small church named Zoodochos Pigi, built in 1688, and the ruins of the fortress on the island of Daskaleio in the bay of Tolon. Fortifications, ruins of houses and reservoirs can also be found on Romvi island. Following the Greek Revolution, a number of ethnic-Greek refugees from Crete were resettled in Tolon.
After the establishment of the independent Kingdom of Greece, in 1834, by Royal Decree, a city was founded at the Port of Tolon and named Minoa after Minos the legendary king of Crete. After the liberation of Crete the remaining refugees in the area formed a fishing village which eventually became known as Tolon in 1916.
From the middle of the 20th century, with its natural beauty and situation allowing easy access to the neighbouring archaeological sites, Tolon saw the beginning of the tourist industry and evolved into a popular summer resort.
Tolo à Katharevousa connu sous le nom Tolon est un petit village pittoresque en Grèce sur la péninsule du Péloponnèse. Il fait partie de l'unité municipale d'Asini, en ArgolideLa baie de Tolon (partie du Golfe Argolique) a été écrite d'abord par Homère, tout comme Asini dans l'Iliade, nommée comme une des villes dont la flotte a pris part à la guerre de Troie. Dans les siècles à venir, la baie de Tolon a donné refuge à des bateaux de bataille à diverses époques et puis pendant la période byzantine a été relancé comme un port auxiliaire à Nafplio.
Après la Quatrième Croisade et l'effondrement de l'empire byzantin (1204 après J.-C.), avec le reste du Péloponnèse, la région est restée sous domination franque jusqu'en 1389, date à laquelle les Vénitiens l'ont emmenée et en 1540 après J.-C. Aux Ottomans. Dans les années 1680, pendant la guerre de Morean, l'alliance entre les Vénitiens, les Allemands et les Polonais contre l'Empire ottoman, le chef des forces alliées, le vice-amiral Francesco Morosini a été ordonné de capturer la capitale du Péloponnèse, Nafplio à Cette fois-ci, et la baie de Tolon fut choisie comme lieu d'opérations pour son expédition, car elle était le lieu le plus sûr de la région, tandis que le rivage était utilisé pour l'armée de camp. Après le succès de son expédition et jusqu'en 1715 après JC, lorsque la zone a été de nouveau occupée par les Turcs, Tolon a été utilisé comme une station navale secondaire pour la flotte vénitienne.

Un monument de cette époque est la petite église nommée Zoodochos Pigi, construite en 1688, et les ruines de la forteresse sur l'île de Daskaleio dans la baie de Tolon. Des fortifications, des ruines de maisons et des réservoirs peuvent également être trouvés sur l'île de Romvi. Après la Révolution grecque, un certain nombre de réfugiés grecs-ethniques de Crète ont été réinstallés à Tolon.
Après l'établissement du royaume indépendant de Grèce, en 1834, par décret royal, une ville a été fondée au port de Tolon et a appelé Minoa après Minos le roi légendaire de Crète. Après la libération de la Crète, les réfugiés restants dans la région formaient un village de pêcheurs qui devint finalement connu sous le nom de Tolon en 1916.
Depuis le milieu du 20ème siècle, avec sa beauté naturelle et sa situation permettant un accès facile aux sites archéologiques voisins, Tolon a vu le début de l'industrie touristique et a évolué en une station d'été populaire.

HYDRA GREECE - BEST ISLAND DAY TRIP from ATHENS - vlog
Wondering which island to visit on a day trip from Athens? Look no further than the beautiful island of Hydra.
From the Athens port of Piraeus, we take the ferry on an hour and a half journey across the Aegean Sea to Hydra, an island filled with history, beautiful ocean, narrow cobblestone alleyways, hilltop views, cats, al-fresco Greek dining, water sports, relaxation, and old movie charm.
Best of all, the island is traffic-free and does not have any cars.
Hydra is rich in history. We visit the island's historic Greek Orthodox churches, then venture to the top of the hills to capture the views.

BEAUTIFUL GREECE COUNTRYSIDE
We arrive in Greece at the small town of Likoporia. It is small and humble but beautiful. We explore the countryside behind our home for the weekend and it offers great views. After our hike we head down to the sea for a swim. It's my first time in salt water! We find a jellyfish and bring it further out to see, and play with tiny crabs in the rocks. We end our relaxing day with some snacks on the beach.
Join me on my adventure for my first time being in Europe, and my first time vlogging! I will be living in Stuttgart, Germany for the summer - longer if I can successfully obtain a visa. During this time I will be exploring as much of Germany and the rest of Europe as I can.

Nafplion, nafplio, nauplie, the end of a wonderful trip to Greece
It is with regret that we leave Hotel Agamemnon after a last stroll in Nafplion and a drink on the terrace of Xenon, Syntagma Square.
This is the hardest moment ;-) the one where you pack up to go home and get back to work.
C'est avec regrets que nous quittons l’Hôtel Agamemnon après une dernière balade dans Nauplie et un verre sur la terrasse du Xenon, Square Syntagma.
C'est le moment le plus dur ;-) celui où l'on fait les valises pour rentrer à la maison et reprendre le travail..
