Gytheio - Day 2
Stay overnight in Gytheio. Discover the Diros Cave, a breathtaking natural wonder untouched by human hands. The cave’s humidity, saltiness, and low lighting create a serene atmosphere as a boat glides through, revealing stunning white stalactites and stalagmites that adorn every corner, offering an awe-inspiring view.
Gytheio, the port of the Spartans, is a charming and lively town with beautiful neoclassical buildings. Despite being on the mainland, it exudes an “island vibe.” Enjoy a walk to Cranae Island, a stroll along the long waterfront, visit nearby beaches, or explore the museums. Gytheio also offers a wide range of dining, entertainment, and shopping options – everything you could wish for! - Acropolis & Fortification Castle of Mystras - Discover the mystical tower town of Mystras, located northwest of Sparta. Be captivated by its medieval grandeur, including the Palace of the Despots (Anaktora), the stunning Cathedral of Saint Dimitrios, and the impressive Monasteries of Our Lady Pantánassa and Our Lady Perivleptos. Imagine Frankish princes and princesses residing in grand mansions, foreign delegations arriving with gifts, and bustling streets filled with peasants, pilgrims, and traders. This is where the Spartans relocated after the Crusaders. In 1448, the last Byzantine emperor, Spartan Constantine XI Palaeologos, was crowned here. The first Byzantine emperor was the great Constantine from Rome in 306 AD, and the last was Constantine from Sparta, who died in 1453 at the walls of Constantinople, fighting the Ottomans like King Leonidas fought the Persians in 480 BC.
