This place isn't in Nafplio, but it's not a million miles away.

by Guest Sat Oct 08, 2011 11:41 am

Another significant place near Nafplio.

Near Argos? Katakekrimeni Portokalousa?

by Guest Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:06 pm

Well, it's not that one exactly, but it is at Argos, so you can have it. To be honest, I've forgotten what the bloomin' place is called! It's on the side of the Larissa hill.

Struggling. Let's see if anyone knows where this might be.

Agioa Nikolaos, about half-way between the Litsa and the main road. The "entrance" the the German "Greek Village" complex.

No Chas, read the sign if you can.

The open prison where Nick got banged up for singing too loudly after midnight?

by nickandchris Sat Oct 15, 2011 10:33 am

Ha ha. It is a prison and definitely "open!!" No idea whether this is still here, this was taken in 1990.

Any more clues Chris?

by nickandchris Sat Oct 29, 2011 2:18 pm

Mainland!

by Guest Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:57 pm

Oh blimey. Volos?

by nickandchris Sun Oct 30, 2011 10:24 am

No, but north is right.

by Guest Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:25 am

Ioannina

by nickandchris Sun Oct 30, 2011 3:46 pm

No, sorry, think more mainstream tourist.

Halkidiki?

by nickandchris Tue Nov 01, 2011 9:02 am

Halkidiki is correct, John. Any idea where???

by stoupaduck Wed Nov 02, 2011 3:00 pm

Given the farmland around I would guess that Kassandra is the most likely of the three "fingers" (although I understand Greeks actually refer to them as "legs")

by nickandchris Wed Nov 02, 2011 5:04 pm

Yes, correct. This open prison was close to Sani beach resort, although we had travelled across wetlands and minor tracks seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It was all a most peculiar area and we were amused by the upside down sign and the barrier being open.As I said, I have no idea whether this is still there.

by Susie Wed Nov 02, 2011 5:44 pm

Looks like it might be LOL

Further Googling revealed it is called the Kassandra Agricultural Prison, It appears that all those who refused to do National Service were sent there originally. As no-one has been fined for sent to prison for refusing to do National Service for some years one wonders who is there now!!

by nickandchris Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:11 pm

Thanks, Susie. I knew the resort was still there and meant to google the prison so you have saved me a job. Shall still read up on it though....

by stoupaduck Fri Nov 04, 2011 10:14 pm

By coincidence, this is a scan of a print from the same year as Chris' previous photo.

Looks like Kefalonia, one of the beaches at Lassi.
