Gythio, the former port of the legendary Sparta, is today a quiet coastal town in the southern Peloponnese that preserves the authentic spirit of Greece, far from the tourist crowds. According to legend, it was from here that Paris and Helen set sail for Troy, sparking the most famous war of the ancient world. Visitors are captivated by the picturesque fishing harbor, Venetian towers, and fresh seafood served in tavernas right along the waterfront.
