Gythio: Seaport of Sparta

Gythio is about 27 miles south of Sparta (a half hr ride) and is a great lil town for fresh seafood and picturesque views. It's also a bustling port where you can catch ferries to islands and even boats to Italy. Kythira (an island south of laconia) is also accessible by ferry from Gythio and the port at Neapolis (check out future blogs for more info).


Just south of Gythio is the beach we frequent, Mavrovouni, the shore is about 2 miles long in length and I know there's camping there if anyone is interested. Also there are cafes and ouzeris (ouzo bars with tapa-like snacks) right off the shore if anyone wants a lite bite or drinkie drink. Check out this link for more info: Gythio
