Yesterday afternoon Scott and I hiked up to the Frankish castle above the village of Myloi. From the top of the hill there were some magnificent views of the Argolid (click to see the full image):

We also heard a good story at dinner: that the castle was the home of the queen, and that under the castle is an underground passage that the queen used to go to the beach.
