Review & FAQ:
Mystras is a fortified ancient town in Laconia on the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece. The town is located on Mt. Taygetos near ancient Sparta. During the Byzantine era, Mystras was the second most important town after Constantinople.
Today an important archeological site, the town is famous for its medieval castle on top of the hill and several magnificent Byzantine churches with unique architecture and precious frescoes. Below the castle is the contemporary village that offers modest accommodation for tourists. The whole area is full of scenic hiking paths beckoning visitors to discover Mystras' hidden natural treasures and magnificent vistas.
