Gythion
Truly one of the world’s original great urban centers, the port city of Gythion was founded by the ancient Phoenicians prior to 400 B.C. Gracing the isolated southern edge of the Peloponnese, the city has a rich political and cultural heritage which is still in evidence today.
Attractions
Nearby, the Dyro Caves are a wonder to behold; vistors tour the underground lake in small boats to see the spectacular stalagmite and stalactite formations in the caverns. The Byzantine ghost city of Mystras, with its beautiful churches, is only a few miles away. The castle of Mistras, with its elaborate Byzantine frescos, carved throne and majestic cathedrals will impress even the most seasoned traveler.
Currency
The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of Greece.
