Yes, that's exactly how it goes. I was living myself practically next to Acropolis for years, I was looking at Parthenon every day during the dog walk and yet I never went to see it. Until I moved away and the first thing to do when I came back for holidays was to visit Acropolis :)
It was that year that I decided to make it a personal tradition to visit at least a few archeological sites or museums during the winter!

Nafplio is very nice indeed. And now you have one more place to go when you visit Greece again!

Cheers!
