Overview

Live your myth with the spartans with a day tour following the ancient Spartans during the centuries. Inside the cave of Diros, an almost painterly landscape, untouched by human hands, humidity, saltiness, low lighting and the boat calmly crosses curtains of sparkling crystals. from the simple landscape of Mani, nature with incomparable art and patience sculpted a miracle beyond all imagination, white stalactites and stalagmites, adorning every corner, creating an unparalleled sight that takes your breath away. Wander around the districts of Mystras, in the Castle, you will think you are in a fairy tale setting: Byzantine princes, noblemen and concubines with their retinues emerging from the rich mansions, foreign delegations heading their way. they pay their respects to the ruler of the state, the people flock to the streets, a dreamlike image taken from the Byzantine past.
