TRIPI
Trypi is a picturesque village that is only 9 km from Sparta in the direction of Kalamata and close to Mystras.
We find it in a location endowed by nature with unique beauties. It is built amphitheatrically on the slopes of the mountain at an altitude of 640 m and at the entrance of the Great Lagada of Taygetos, surrounded by a forest of cypresses and pines
It is a breath of fresh air since its springs are numerous as well as the Knokion river which you will find going downhill and at a distance of 5 minutes from the main road.
Here you will enjoy crystal clear frozen waters throughout the summer as its springs come from Taygetos, in winter there is also an impressive waterfall that, depending on the rains, exists until the end of June.

.According to Pausanias, the name Gytheio meant "Land of the gods", from the Homeric word tetragyon "Gyon" (Earth) + god. It is said that during the building of the city, Hercules, having stolen the oracle tripod from the oracle of Delphi, came into conflict with Apollo. However, since the struggle was fruitless, instead of Herakleia or Apollonia they named the city "Land of the Gods" to honor both.
The well-known Shipwreck of Mani is located next to Gythio. In just five minutes from Gythio, you can reach Valtaki beach which is the shipwreck of Dimitrios.
