1. Mystras Sparta
Mystras or Mistras , also known as Myzithras in the Chronicle of the Morea, is a fortified town and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Situated on Mt. Taygetos, near ancient Sparta, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering. The site remained inhabited throughout the Ottoman period, when it was mistaken by Western travellers for ancient Sparta. In the 1830s, it was abandoned and the new town of Sparti was built, approximately eight kilometres to the east. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Sparti, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 131.948 km2.

Koroni (Κορώνη), a small town in the southwest of the Peloponnese on the Gulf of Messina, is about 30 km east of Methoni, 50 km south of Kalamata.

Koroni is dominated by a fort, which is strategically located on a peninsula. The walls merge into the high cliffs which provide a natural protection.
The town was founded by the Byzantines and later ruled by Venetians and Ottomans.

Gythio, Peloponnese - Greece HD Travel Channel

Gythio -- Γύθειο - on the Peloponnese, Greece, is the eastern gate to the Mani. Once it was an important military and commercial port of the Spartans.
We reach Gythio the evening and enjoy the food in one of the tavernas on the harbor. The next morning we explore the town and the island of Marathonisi, which is connected to the mainland by a picturesque causeway.
It is said that Paris and Helen of Troy shall have spent their first night of love on their escape from Sparta to Troy on the island of Marathonisi - Μαραθονήσι.
After Gythio was destroyed first by an earthquake and then by the Goths, the town gained importance again in the late 18th century by the influx of the influential family Grigorakis. Today, their former fortified house on the island is a museum after it served as an operating base for the fleet in the Greek struggle for liberation.

Nachdem Gythio erst durch ein Erdbeben und dann durch die Goten zerstört wurde, gewann er erst wieder im späten 18. Jahrhundert durch den Zuzug der einflussreichen Familie Grigorakis an Bedeutung. Ihr Wehrhaus auf der Insel ist heute ein Museum, nachdem es im griechischen Befreiungskampf als Operationsbasis für die Flotte diente.

Inside the Peloponnese - Greece HD Travel Channel

Our journey leads us into the inside of the Peloponnese. Along the coast of the Gulf of Corinth, we head west to Trapeza. From here we take a turn to the south along the monastery Megaspiläon that stucks like a bird nest on a rock wall. In the small town of Rogo we visit the memorial for the victims of the Nazi terror regime. Here, the entire male population of the village was massacred here in the World War II.
After a drive through valleys and high mountain passes and a short visit to the Cave of the Lakes (Spileo ton Limnon) at Kastria, we reach the historic city of Mantinea. The city was often in conflict with Sparta, was destroyed and rebuilt with the help of Thebes and later destroyed again by Slavs . Here is one of the most unusual churches in Greece. During the construction of the church one tried to combine all architectural styles.
Before we leave the highland, we enjoy a marvellous view to the gulf of Argos.

Unsere Reise führt uns ins Innere des Peloponnes. Entlang der Küste des Golfs von Korinth fahren wir Richtung Westen bis Trapeza. Hier biegen wir nach Süden ab, passieren das Kloster Megaspiläon -Μεγα Σπήλαιον , das wie ein Vogelnest an eine Felswand geklebt wurde.
In dem kleinen Ort Rogo besuchen wir das Mahnmal für die Opfer des NS Terrorregimes, das im 2. Weltkrieg die gesamte männliche Bevölkerung des Ortes dahin metzelte.
Nach einer Fahrt durch Hochtäler und Hochgebirgspässe und einem kurzen Besuch der Höhle der Seen (Spileo ton Limnon) bei Kastria, erreichen wir das historische Stadtgebiet von Mantineia -Μαντίνεια. Die Stadt lag mit Sparta oft im Konflikt, wurde zerstört und mit Hilfe von Theben wieder aufgebaut um später wieder von Slawen zerstört zu werden. Hier befindet sich eine der eigentümlichsten Kirchen Griechenlands. Beim Bau der Kirche versuchte man sämtliche architektonischen Stilrichtungen zu vereinen.
Bevor wir das Hochland verlassen, öffnet sich uns ein herrlicher Blick auf den Golf von Argos.
