TOLONE TO NAUPLIA. 95

Krenidi stretches far out into the sea, terminating in a point called
Korakia.

There is a place called Cheladia near it. Under Korakia is the
island Platia. This part of the coast is little known, there is no ob-
ject of enquiry in this part of Argolis except the town of Asine.

The next islet is called Upsili, and beyond is seen Specie, bearing
S. 24. 20 E. which has a tolerable trading town and several merchant
vessels. The islands of the ArgolicGulph are named Pityusa, Irine,
and Ephyre, by Pliny, Book 4. The first was probably so named
from the number of pines which it produced. Some give to the
nearest rock the name of Haliusa, and others Coronisi; those near the
coast are only insignificant rocks. These objects are on the left of
the prospect. On the right, lies the pretty orange garden of Tolone at
the head of a bay, where the inhabitants of Nauplia come by water
to -dance and feast on holy days.

Port Tolone is formed by the main land, and the islet called
Macronesi, on one top of which are the vestiges of a castle, and on
another a monastery. In the island is a little bay, and good water.
The distant point of Malvasia, in the ancient Lacedaemonia, bears
from this spot S. 2. W.
