Sparta

Following that we will spend the rest of our time in Sparta known as the eternal rival city of the Athenian Democracy. Sparta revolved around a different Cosmo theory for the ancient Greek standards. Initially known as the birth place of Helen of Troy and the Kingdom of Menelaus (in Mycenaean period), Sparta was organized as a purely military society in the ancient Greek period. It was the city of the two Kings were a few aristocrats ruled and of course the city where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans marched from to face the Persian army Thermopylae in 480 BCE.

Mani Castle

Arid, rugged landscape. Houses reminiscent of towers, stone settlements, Byzantine churches, small coves and shocking caves. Mani. A closed, frugal society, organized for centuries along the lines of blood and lineage. Tucked away on the steep slopes of southern Taygetos and constantly ready for war, the Mani people developed a very strong sense of autonomy. What the visitor sees today is what he is allowed to see. And he insatiably absorbs images of an authentic Greece, because in this corner of the Peloponnese, at the southernmost tip of Europe, everything is unique and magical at the same time.

Day 2

Monomvasia-Gytheio-Areopoli

4 Stops

Monemvasia

Monemvasia, founded by the Byzantines in the sixth century, is a breathtaking medieval tower town located on the south eastern coast of the Peloponnese. Take the opportunity to explore this mystical stone built settlement, nestled at the edge of a big rock by the sea, and immerse yourself in a unique medieval atmosphere!

1 hour • Admission Ticket Free

Monemvasia Castle

Upon entering the castle, your journey through time begins. Peer into the history of the fortress the so called Gibraltar of the East, which was occupied by the Byzantines, the Crusaders, the Venetians, and the Turks in the past. Wander around its narrow cobbled streets, and admire the beautifully restored stone buildings. Taste culinary delights at a fine restaurant on the roof of a tower house, and spend a romantic night at a stone-built tower. The Kastro or castle is divided into two parts, the lower and upper town.

Admission Ticket Free

Areopoli

Nestled in the foothills of the Saggias mountains on the western coast of the Peloponnese’s Mani Peninsula, Areopoli is often referred to as “Mani’s heart of stone”—a monicker that, it should be noted, has more to do with the town’s traditional stonemasonry buildings than with the (actually rather friendly and welcoming) disposition of its townsfolk. Mani, part of the district of Laconia, has emerged as a popular destination thanks to its winning combination of breathtaking rugged beauty and local history and culture, which you can delve deeper into with every village you visit. Just one glance at the map reveals that the region is dotted with scenic spots—gorgeous wild coves, tranquil beaches, and enchanting caves—as well as historical and built heritage sites, all within a stone’s throw from each other.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Gytheio

A holiday in Gytheio is a holiday in the “Land of the Gods" literally as well as metaphorically! The town’s name is derived from "gyia" (land) and “theos” (god), but while you might think this reflects the area’s beauty, there’s actually another myth behind the name. When the ancient city was being built, Hercules and Apollo fell out over the sacred Delphic Tripod. However, since neither of them won the struggle for the tripod, the city was not named after either of them, but was instead called the "Land of the Gods”
