• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, which arguably turns the peninsula into an island. The canal is dug at sea level through the Isthmus and does not have any locks. It stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in length and is only 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base, making it inaccessible for most modern ships. Today, it holds little economic significance and primarily serves as a tourist attraction.
• Sparta - Sparta was a significant city-state in ancient Greece. In ancient times, it was known as Lacedaemon, while Sparta referred to its main settlement along the Eurotas River in Laconia, southeastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it emerged as the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece. Due to its military supremacy, Sparta was acknowledged as the leading force of the unified Greek military during the Greco-Persian Wars, in competition with the growing naval power of Athens. Sparta was the main adversary of Athens during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), from which it emerged victorious.
• Archaeological Museum of Sparta - The Archaeological Museum of Sparta, located in Greece, houses thousands of artifacts from the ancient Acropolis of Sparta, known as Lakedaemonia, as well as from the rest of the Laconia municipality. The collection’s items date from the Neolithic Age to the late Roman Period. There are seven rooms, covering an approximate area of 500 square meters (5,400 square feet), which display only a small portion of the collection.
• Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil - This beautifully designed museum introduces visitors to the mysteries of the olive from its first appearance in the Mediterranean to the present day. Visitors can explore olive oil’s various uses (cooking, fuel, ritual, perfume-making) and admire the magnificent reconstructions of olive presses in the courtyard, ranging from prehistoric to Byzantine times. Finally, marvel at the intricate working models that demonstrate changes in pressing technology.
• Archaeological Site of Mystra - Mystras, the ‘wonder of the Morea’, was constructed as an amphitheater around the fortress built in 1249 by the prince of Achaia, William of Villehardouin. It was later reconquered by the Byzantines, then occupied by the Turks and the Venetians, and eventually abandoned in 1832, leaving behind breathtaking medieval ruins in a stunning landscape. As the center of Byzantine power, Mystras quickly attracted inhabitants and institutions; the bishopric was moved there from Sparta, with its cathedral, the Metropolis or church of Hagios Demetrios, built after 1264. Many monasteries were established, including the Brontochion and the monastery of Christos Zoodotes. Under the Despots, Mystras reached its peak with the construction of churches, outstanding examples of Late Byzantine church architecture, such as Hagioi Theodoroi, the Hodegetria, the Hagia Sophia, the Peribleptos quarter of the 14th century, the Evangelistria, and the Pantanassa.
• Pikoulianika - After visiting Mystras, enjoy lunch at the picturesque, mountainous village of Pikoulianika. A traditional tavern with a stunning panoramic view of Sparta has been selected.
