Venetian castles and stunning nature - Prefecture of Laconia

Laconia, the southernmost region of mainland Greece, is a land of wild natural beauty, ancient feuds and legends.

Byzantine and Frank forts, fascinating Mystras, the rock of Monemvasia, legendary Mani with its traditional stone castles, Dyros cave and Sparta...

Laconia's landscape is defined by the mountain ranges of Taygetos and Parnonas, the Evrotas river valley, and the two beautiful islands in Laconic bay: Kythera and Elafonissos (hidden paradise of dunes and cedar trees).
