The historic fortress site of Mystras in the Peloponnese Greece
Clinging to a steep slope in the Peloponnese, the historic fortress site of Mystras provides a window into medieval Greece.
This Byzantine gem was once a vibrant settlement where the last Byzantine emperor was crowned in 1449 before falling to the Ottomans. Today, ruined churches, monasteries, and grand palaces remain spread across this atmospheric hillside site.
With its epic views over olive groves and the ruins of Sparta below, plus the fewer crowds compared to other Greek sites, Mystras offers an off-the-beaten-path taste of Greece’s rich history amidst a haunting lost-in-time landscape.
