Kyparissia – FTHINOPURIAN SUNFLOWS AT “THE PLACE OF THE GIGANDS”

“Sculpted” by the watery currents of the Ionian Sea and “dipped” in a green “wave” of trees and verdant corners, Kyparissia, dressed in its autumn colours, invites us on a journey to the mythical land of giants and its Byzantine splendour.

Enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets, at the Byzantine – Frankish castle of Arkadia, which legend says was built by giants. As the sun “leans” towards the west, it gives its reflections to the tiled roofs that stretch like a white-red sheet down to its sandy beaches, touching the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea and the autumn landscape.

Discover the “Mycenae of the West”, in the archaeological site of Peristeria. With the vaulted tombs and the rich findings testify to an important centre of antiquity.

Explore the canyon with stalactites. From the north side of the archaeological site of Peristeria, follow the path that leads to this wonderful monument of nature, with its running waters and old plane trees.

Taste the Messinian tradition with the blessed olive oil, the citrus fruits, the aromatic plants or herbs, the cured meats, the roasted piglet, the sage-smoked sausages, the lalangia and the diples.

Experience a unique autumn in Messinian nature!
