GYTHIO
Gythio, or otherwise the «land of the gods», is a city as if it has come out of a myth. It is located in Laconian Mani with a strong island feeling. The colors of the neoclassical houses, that are perched on the green hill and surround the port, are reflected in the waters of the Laconian gulf. The long history of the city is reflected in the ruins of the acropolis and in the ancient theater located at the foot of the hill of the ancient acropolis. Walking up the hill above the theater you will see the ancient Roman aqueduct and the fantastic view of the city and the sea.
