Once known as the wonder of Morea, the ancient city of Mystras is an impeccably-preserved Byzantine city built into a towering mountain. Explore the city described by the UNESCO World Heritage List as a splendid complex of palaces, then drive to historic Sparta, where you’ll visit an ancient citadel and the statue of King Leonidas. Visit the Olive Oil Museum and learn all about olive oil making and continue with the secret gem of Peloponnese, Limeni. Limeni is a village in Mani, the southern part of Peloponnese and is an area of unique natural beauty, tradition, and history. This place still has its original character. As you get into the small alleys, you get mesmerized by the simplicity and beauty of this little jewel of Peloponnese.

Would recommend spending your time elsewhere. The tour guide was very nice and seemed to know the history but overall a waste of time. Since the weather was getting poor, rain, I asked the guide for an updated schedule as soon as we got in the car- said there was no schedule. Second stop at the ruins was quick because of the rain and the rocks on the walk way were too slippery (he told us to stay there for two hours.. took us 30 mins). We still did the canal on the way. We started heading out of town after the ruins and as we left the guide said how the other planned site on the web page were a waste of time we will go else where. I stated I wanted to see them, that is why I signed up. He did a u-turn to go to the olive museum but we missed the next few. He drove us to the first town that was listed on this site and everything was closed; he was confused on where to go with the town closed and told us to walk around - we were confused where since it was raining and with the rough seas the path along the water was blocked. The guide started asked locals where we should go. The next town over had a place open to eat so we stopped in there. From there we basically went back home. All this driving took all day from 8am pick up and roughly 7pm drop off. Really just a waste of time and wish I had planned something else. The guide was nice but so difficult to understand as he faced forward driving and we were in the back seat. He also was a smoker and when walking would blow smoke which often ended up in our faces.
