Sparta, Mystras & Limeni Traditional Village Private Day Tour
Once known as the wonder of Morea, the ancient city of Mystras is an impeccably-preserved Byzantine city built into a towering mountain. Explore the city described by the UNESCO World Heritage List as a splendid complex of palaces, then drive to historic Sparta, where you’ll visit an ancient citadel and the statue of King Leonidas. Visit the Olive Oil Museum and learn all about olive oil making and continue with the secret gem of Peloponnese, Limeni. Limeni is a village in Mani, the southern part of Peloponnese and is an area of unique natural beauty, tradition, and history. This place still has its original character. As you get into the small alleys, you get mesmerized by the simplicity and beauty of this little jewel of Peloponnese.
