Sparta & Mystras Byzantine fortress Full Day Tour with lunch

After driving on the west coastal road to Corinth Canal, then we continue towards Sparta & Mistras.

Sparta city was founded by the Dorian’s in the 9th century B.C. and in the next few years it developed into the most powerful military city in Greece, thanks to the efficient laws, perfected by the law-giver Lycurgus. The Spartans deferred from the rest of Greeks in the culture, and the way of life. The Spartans character were mostly military, the life of the citizen was dedicated to serving the country, and the art of war. The 300 Spartans and their King Leonidas are still a myth giving inspirations and themes to Hollywood and its great directors!
