Mystras Palace

We will see Tripoli – the biggest city of Peloponnese – and arrive at Sparta or Lacedaemon, that was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the River Eurotas in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese.

Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its political (rather military) system which completely focused on military training and excellence in the battle-field. Spartan women enjoyed considerably more rights and equality to men than elsewhere in the classical world.

We continue with visit to Mystras that was a fortified town in Morea (the medieval Peloponnese), on Mt. Taygetos, rising along ancient Sparta. In the 14th and 15th centuries, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering.

Afterwards we will drive you back to your original pick up point.
