Gorge Drive Route 82 Kalamata To Sparta & Hiking Taygetos Mountains GREECE
Today we’re on a day trip from Kalamata going to Sparta via the gorge road know as Route 82. We’d heard this is an amazing scenic drive with loads of valley views and windy mountain roads, but the reality exceeded our expectations! This was one of the best mountain drives we have ever done!
We made a pit stop at a hillside taverna in Tripi where the views are amazing and the drink portions are generous!
From Sparta there is easy access to hike the Taygetos Mountains, so we used our Bradt guidebook and went on a 2 hour hike starting in the hills above Paroreio and ending back down in Mystras. The trail went past a 14th century cave church, which had beautiful wall frescoes and was a peaceful place to take a break.

We said goodbye to our jobs, sold all our belongings, and left Australia on a one-way ticket to Shanghai with just each other and our backpacks! We plan to travel the world for a year, see as much as possible, meet as many people as we can, and most importantly MAKE OUR MONEY LAST!

Greece 2016 - Kalamata to Marmari
Traveling from Kalamata straight south on the western coast of the middle southern peninsula toward the southern tip of this peninsula in Marmari where our room is. This day features three climbs 77 miles and over 7400 feet of climbing. The last climb thankfully was the smallest but it was in the dark of night.
Panting and climbing up the first climb.

So many mountain passes open up to these seaside vistas.

Can you climb Mt Olympus in one day? | Hiking in Greece
Myron sets himself the ultimate challenge - hiking Mt Olympus in one day. He takes trail E4 (which goes from Spain to Greece) from Prionia which is only around a 10-12 hour hike but because of the altitude and terrain, most give themselves two days for the hike (sleeping in refuge A overnight). He sets off at dawn (around 7am) and gives himself exactly 12 hours until the sun goes down. Does he make it? Is it a hike for beginners? Does he recommend doing it in one day? Does he meet Zeus?

WHERE WE STAYED
Prionia (starting point):
We stayed the night a little further down the mountain as the Prionia carpark isn't very flat and had no cellphone reception but we parked there during the day.

Hiking The Highest Peak In Taygetos Mountains, Greece
We attempted to hike to the top of Profitis Ilias today which is part of the Taygetos Mountain range in Peloponnese Greece. Profits Ilias (προφήτης Ηλίας, Ταϋγετος ) is the highest peak in the Taygetos Mountains, the summit is 2,404 meters high and the vegetation up changes quite dramatically.
It was an early start to beat the heat, which ended up being a good decision because we were able to have lunch on the mountain before heading back down.

Mimi Studios And Apartments Stoupa Greece 2019
Mimi Studios And Apartments Stoupa Greece 2019. If anyone is interested, I hope this video will help people who can't find much info on the Mimi Studios in Stoupa, Greece.
This is the top floor known as the Penthouse or Superior Sea View or just plain Room 4.
It is ideally situated for all amenities in Stoupa and the beach in front of the Mimi is called Halikoura beach which can be reached by a 2-minute walk or those who are able to climb up and down the 6-foot wall, seconds away!
The main beach in Stoupa is about a minutes walk the other way. You will have to walk through the Akrogiali restaurant to access the Mimi, but it's no real problem...the owners are fine with it and the food at the Akrogiali was the best we had in the whole of Stoupa, so it's a win-win situation!
The Mimi studios and apartments are solidly built and the top floor room, the penthouse, has 360 access to the sun. There is a pleasant breeze which refreshes you when the sun beats down from every direction.
There are 2 sunbeds, 4 patio chairs, 2 patio tables, a parasol set and plenty of room. Inside there is everything you want from a self-catering studio. The beds are comfy and if you don't want Air-Con, there is a stand-up fan.
If you are going there soon, you will love it. Just be aware, the Mimi is being retired from Thomas Cook and probably retired forever after the 2019 season ends, so if this room is still available to book before then...just do it!!
Sorry about the shaky footage (one too many Mythos?)

Greece's Peloponnese
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | After enjoying Greece's charming old port town of Nafplio, we'll time-trip through the ruins of Olympia, take center stage at the remarkably preserved theater at Epidavros, and explore the ancient capital of Mycenae. Then we'll wander off the beaten path along the rustic, rough-and-tumble Mani Peninsula, relax in the idyllic beach town of Kardamyli, and marvel at Greece's Rock of Gibraltar: the fortress town of Monemvasia.
