Gythio

Gythio, the ancient port of Sparta, is a picturesque coastal town in the Laconia region of the Peloponnese. Its colorful neoclassical buildings cascade down to a charming harbor where fishing boats bob gently in crystal-clear waters, creating one of Greece's most photogenic waterfronts.

This enchanting town serves as the perfect gateway to some of Greece's most remarkable attractions. The spectacular Diros Caves offer an otherworldly underground boat journey through chambers of stalactites and stalagmites. The legendary medieval fortress of Monemvasia rises dramatically from the sea, while the ancient city of Sparta and Byzantine Mystras lie just a short drive away.

Our private tours from Gythio unlock the treasures of Laconia with expert local guides who bring the region's rich history to life. From the myths of Helen of Troy, who legend says eloped with Paris from nearby Kranae islet, to the warrior culture of ancient Sparta, every tour is an immersive journey through time.
