5 km from Sparta (where you can also stay). Do we need to repeat how extraordinary this site is? This group of Byzantine monasteries and the fortress which overhangs them are architectural jewels, very well preserved. They formed a sort of autonomous republic in the Byzantine period, and the city, today a little deserted it is true, kept a structure which makes it possible to imagine the life at that time. Situated at the foot of the magnificent Mount Taygetos, this site is truly grandiose. It is better to arrive early in the morning, because many buses disembark at 10 am and the visit becomes quickly difficult because of the heat. An excursion not to be missed..
