5Gytheio

A picturesque harbor town in Laconia, Gytheio is a blend of neoclassical elegance and Mediterranean beauty. Once the ancient port of Sparta, today it is a charming fishing town with colorful buildings cascading down the hillside towards the sea.

Gytheio’s seafront promenade is perfect for leisurely walks, with its traditional fish taverns offering the day’s freshest catch. Just outside the town, Mavrovouni Beach is a long sandy stretch ideal for swimming and windsurfing. A short drive from Gytheio leads to the hauntingly beautiful shipwreck of the Dimitrios, stranded on Valtaki Beach.
