Gythion

Gythion is a small, picturesque fishing town on the Mani peninsula in the southern Peloponnese, serving as the main port for the rugged Mani region. Cruise ships calling here give passengers access to the dramatic stone-tower villages of the Mani, the ancient Spartan city of Sparta (about 45 km north), and the cave of Diros with its remarkable underground lakes. The waterfront itself is lined with neoclassical buildings and traditional tavernas.
