Alypa Beach

Reviewed By Kanadeza

A local in Gythio suggested we visit this cove for swimming because of its crystal clear waters. We are so happy we did. It is not an organized beach so you need to bring your own beach umbrella and mats to lie down. The beach is a large pebble beach and it goes deep quickly, but the waters are clear and turquoise. It is very picturesque and typical of the region. There is a taverna on the beach.

Kastania Cave

One of the most impressive caves of Greece can be found near the village of Kastania on the southern tip of the Peloponnese, just minutes away from Neapoli. The route follows the winding mountain road leading to the forest-covered eastern slopes of Mt. Parnon. Rich in density and variety of shapes, colors and figures, Kastania Cave is classified as second of its kind in Europe. Nature needed three million years to create this fantasyscape with its unparalleled decor and numerous impressive formations such as enormous red and white "waterfalls", the gigantic columns, the "curtains" and the "sheets" that overflow like waxwork from the roof, "octopuses" and "corals" nest, "elephants" and "mushrooms", "birds" and caricatures, "exotic plants" and monumental creatures... Standing out among the numerous attractions of the cave are geological rarities such as discs, flat stalagmites, eccentrites and elictites. With a little luck, visitors may meet the cave's noble resident insect, the deaf and blind dolichopoda. The cave's surface covers 1,500 square meters separated into two levels and the visitor is guided along a 500-meter route. The cave was formed from limestones of Jurassic age (195-145 million years old) as a result of geological turmoil and chemical reaction. The stone decor owes its seven-color palette to crystalline carbonate lime enriched with several metal oxides. A cafe operates right outside the cave and nearby is the old church of St. Andrew, scarred by pirates and conquerors

Well worth the drive up some very steep hills to visit this. The cave is visually stunning with some incredible formations of both Stalactites & Stalagmites in various brown reddish orange colours. The guide is well informed and willing to answer any questions posed.

Liotrivi Monemvasia - Historical Mansion

Reviewed By ThomasJ794

My wife and I were visiting Monemvasia for the first time and decided to go to a wine tasting here. The Liotrivi Historical Mansion is a short drive from Monemvasia and easy to find once you get to Velies, a few kilometres inland in pleasant wine and olive growing country. The wine tasting was a superb experience, very professionally and knowledgeably delivered by the friendly staff (Rula, Bill and Jim), in the splendid surroundings of the historical museum. We also tasted the olive oils, and having discovered that we really liked some of the wine and oil we tasted, bought some to bring back home to the UK with us. The only thing that left me scratching my head was, why is this lovely wine not more widely available in the UK? It is more than a match for wines I've tasted from other parts of Europe. In summary, a great place to visit.

Caves of Diros

A large underground network of caves full of strangely shaped rock formations.

Reviewed By JohnV801 - Athens, Greece

One of the most beautiful caves I have visited. To start off with the facilities were very well kept, very clean and all Covid measures adhered to. The sheer beauty we encountered during the short boat ride and walk through the cave was really something else. We dwarfed in comparison to the age and beauty of this phenomenon. Stalactites and stalagmites dating back ages in colors of nature that no human hand could achieve. Well worth the trip.
