The nearby harbour town of Gythio

                           reflects Greek serenity

Our "KTIRAKIA studios" are just 3 km away from GYTHIO, a small, pituresque, lively and charming harbour town. The most of its houses are two- or three-storey neo-classical mansions, stuck to the steep side of the Mt. "Koumaros". A long seafront promenade, colourful fishing boats, narrow streets and staircases create a typically Greek environment that fascinates every visitor.

In Gythio, there are not really significant ancient objects to be studied. Only a small Roman theatre remains from its ancient past, destroyed by an earthquake in the 4th century. So every visitor is free to enjoy just Greek present life.
Gythio is protected by the spurs of the mighty Taygetos mountain range. Its highest peak, Profitis Ilias, at 2,407 metres the highest mountain in the Peloponnese, provides a magnificent backdrop. From November to May, the snow-white peaks are a magnificent sight behind the deep blue sea. 

Beach Selection

There are a number of beautiful bays and beaches in the vicinity of our holiday oasis "Kitrakia Studios".
The closest beach (less than a 5 minute drive) is the beautiful beach of Mavrovouni. It consists of fine to coarse grained sand and offers plenty of space over a considerable length of more than three kilometres and approximately 15 metres wide. There are several places with fixed umbrellas and sun loungers, which are free of charge. The owners of the establishments offering these oases are of course happy if you consume something during your stay, but you are under no obligation to do so.

We will be happy to inform you about other beaches in the area.

Destinations

In the region of Laconia, where "Kitrakia studios" is located, there are a number of attractions to visit, such as

Mobirise

The Mani

is one of the most rugged natural and cultural landscapes in Greece and is well worth a day trip. It is characterised by the numerous high residential and defence towers made of unplastered natural stone, built in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Mobirise

Mistras

is a historically important ruined city from the 15th century near Sparta. There is an upper and a lower entrance to the city with the fortress. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1989. The Despot's Palace has been undergoing extensive restoration.

Mobirise

Monemvasia

is one of the most impressive cultural landscapes in Greece. It is characterised by the numerous high residential and defence towers made of unplastered natural stone, built in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Mobirise

Ancient Messene

is a long way from Gytheio, at least 2 hours drive, but it is well worth a day trip to visit this site! Messene was founded in 369 BC. Founded around 300 BC, it has only been intensively explored in recent years and is one of the most extensive archaeological areas in Greece.

Mobirise

The islands Kythira
and Elafonisos

Both islands are well worth a visit, especially Elafonisos if you're a beach fan. Indeed, Elafonisos is the most exotic island in the Mediterranean, with Caribbean beaches of fine white sand and crystal clear turquoise waters.
The slightly larger island of Kythira is even reached by ferry once a week from Gythio, but you can't get there in a day. The island has a varied landscape with mountains and gorges, olive groves, spruce and cypress trees, and many small villages and settlements. You should spend at least one night there.
