About this audio guide
This guide to Karathona beach near Nafplio follows a wine trader of the Venetian era, a captain who made his living hauling wine across the Aegean, and the night a storm caught him off these rocks. It weaves in the hermitage carved into the hill above, and the old claim that monks once watched these slopes for pirates. Best heard from the southern end of the sand, near the church of Agios Konstantinos.
