Ancient Mystras from Kalamata

Drive through the Taygetos Mountains, enjoying spectacular views of the breath-taking Langada Gorge and Langada Pass. The city of Mystras, protected by UNESCO, is a reminder of a glorious bygone age where Greek letters and culture flourished under the reign of the Palaiologoi dynasty. It was the birthplace of the last Byzantine emperor before the Fall of Constantinople. During your visit you will encompass the fortress, the churches (many intact with their original ornate frescos) the houses, the convent and museum.
