About this audio guide
This guide to the War Museum in Nafplio starts in the small hours of the twenty-eighth of October, nineteen forty, when Greece's prime minister answered an Italian ultimatum in a house near Athens. From there it climbs to the second-floor gallery of the Greco-Italian War and into the Pindus mountains, where rain, mud and snow shaped the campaign as much as any general. Along the way you'll meet the village women and children who carried supplies up the tracks.
