Explore Sparta & Mystras
Mystras, a UNESCO World Heritage site on a slope of Mount Taygetos above Sparta, was the last great city of Byzantium, with palaces, monasteries and frescoed churches. Modern Sparta, the archaeological museum and the olive groves of the Evrotas valley are minutes away, and Monemvasia and the Mani are within easy reach.
