Sit back and enjoy the view as the coach winds its way through steep mountains and deep gorges to reach the old Byzantine capital of Mystras, perched high on a hillside overlooking the plains of Sparta.
Make your way down the ancient lanes from the castle, it’s ever watchful eye over the city, passing priests houses, a palace and a monastery as you go.
Stop for a rest at the pretty mountain village of Artemisia to taste the local delicacy of creamy yoghurt, sweet honey and nuts whilst drinking in the views of a tree lined ravine.
