Up the stairs – down the stairs
The climb up to Palamidi Fort made me sweat profusely – 999 steps? More like 1,000. Or 1,200... who's counting? Now it's time to head back down, and what a view: the bay of Nafplio glitters like something out of a postcard catalogue, the town lies there and quietly says, -Glad to see you back!- My legs are complaining a little, but my head is cheering – and my stomach is secretly looking forward to a cool drink. Or another snack. | Greece
In this case, climbing all those steps is actually worth it. The view makes up for the effort.
But let’s be honest… there are places in the world where that’s definitely not the case.
