Wherever you are, we can organize for you and your family or your friends, a day trip, in which you will get to know the Sights of the Byzantine city of Mystras and Sparta, with the V.I.P. Mercedes minibus.
Sparta is located next to the Evrotas River in an area of unique natural beauty, in an ideal landscape for browsing and exploring. The plain that stretches around it is green with olive, orange, lemon, mulberry and other trees.
Today's Sparta is built on the eastern foothills of Taygetus, south of the center of the ancient city of the same name, near the right bank of the river Evrotas and at an altitude of 210 m.
To the southwest, rises Taygetos with its towering peaks and its wild beauty, while to the east of the city is the Parnon mountain range, overgrown with firs and other trees.
In Sparta, one of the most important attractions is its Acropolis, in which seven Byzantine Churches and Byzantine works of art are preserved that you can see.
Then, from Sparta we go to Mystras, passing along the way through olive, cypress, mulberry, lemon and orange trees and admiring Taygetos from a distance.
The castle of Mystras is located on a steep conical hill, the "Myzithra" hill which dominates, with its steep fortresses built on the mountain of Taygetus and controls the fertile valley of Eurotas, six kilometers west of Sparta.
In 1989, by decision of the competent committee of Unesco, Mystras was registered as a cultural property in the list of World Cultural Heritage.
You will also see the Metropolis of Mystras, Agios Dimitrios, the Holy Monastery of Pantanassa, Vrontochio (place where the Neoplatonic philosopher Plethon or George Gemistos taught), Agioi Theodoros, Panagia Odegetria, Theotokos Perivlepto and Agia Sophia of Mystra (the Catholic Church of the Monastery).
Throughout the tour you will see:
1. The medieval castle "Oreokastro"
2. The historical tomb of Leonidas
3. The archaeological museum of Sparta
4. The ruins of ancient Sparta
5. The temple of Halkiikou Athena
