• Archaeological Site of Mystra - Embark on a journey from Monemvasia with the luxury of a Mercedes V.I.P Service for a half-day excursion to the Byzantine castle-town of Mystras.
  Leaving Monemvasia, you’ll traverse through expansive olive, orange, and lemon orchards alongside the storied Evrotas river, inhaling the summery scents of the region, until you arrive at the base of Taygetos Mountain. Here, you’ll find Mystras perched on a hill.
  Mystras stands as a remarkable instance of a fortified Byzantine city that has been well-maintained, recognized as a World Cultural Heritage Monument by Unesco since 1989. During the Byzantine Era, Mystras was the second most influential city following Constantinople, playing a significant role in the era’s political dynamics, and serving as a hub for power and commerce.
  Currently, the palace, residences, churches, and monasteries illustrate the site’s cultural significance. Embark on a guided exploration, lasting about two hours, to discover the history of this castle-town. Explore the churches and the Pantanassa monastery, which is still occupied today. The palace and fortifications are quintessential specimens of Byzantine architecture. From the upper town, you can marvel at the stunning panorama of the Evrotas valley and Sparta. Mystras is a unique location where the present converges with the past.
  Following your tour of Mystras, savor a meal featuring local traditional dishes at a restaurant in Parori, a serene village nestled among ancient towering trees and flowing waters at the base of the Mystras hill.
