That looks like Khasab in Oman.  If it’s not, there are also several ports where they’ve got, in the words of the now split up pair “identical twin brothers”

Pursuit somewhere nice and warm in October 2018.

Congrats to uktog and Phil for getting Chania and to vada_9 for getting Gisbourne.  We have only been on two Azamara cruises (both brilliant) so my choice of ports is a bit limited! I'm enjoying this so here's one more (another Mediterranean island).

To get to this viewpoint, a fortress built in 1741, you can walk from the town up to the top of this  216-meter high hill, or take a taxi, as we did. The fortress is located above a town that has variously been occupied by Venetians, Ottomans, and Greeks. Today, the flag that flies above the fortress is blue and white.

You could drive from Sibenik to my port city. But it would be a 1222 km trip.

Rhodes and my port city both fly the blue and white flag of Greece. But you are still 738 km, mostly by ferry, from my port city.

Nafplio or Nafplion . . . I also took a cab up, but walked back down.

An image from "down under," a regular port of call on the route.

Nafplio is correct. We also walked down after the cab ride up.

 

It's a really nice Greek town that is not over-touristed. I get the impression it's popular with Greek domestic travellers, but not so well known to international travellers. I'd like to go back.

I agree with you about Napflio, it’s lovely.
