This day we took a tour of Byzantine Mystras led by George Terezakis. Here there are some wonderful medieval ruins overlooking a beautiful landscape! I saw more frescoes in better shape than anywhere else we have been. Situated on Mt. Taygetos, near ancient Sparta, it was the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, when it flourished. Take a look at the photo gallery below.
When we left Mystras we went to nearby Sparta for lunch. Then we headed to Nafplio. Click to see nifty Nafplio.
