Mystras. The Last Breath of Byzantium.
This isn't ruins - it's preserved time. A ghost town on the slopes of Taygetos. 200 years ago, its inhabitants left for new Sparta, leaving behind an untouched Byzantine world of the 15th century.
Monasteries and churches still echo with the spirit of Hagia Sophia. But the real treasure is the unique secular architecture: houses, streets, the Palace of the Despots. A stern facade, arcades, and unexpected Gothic touches in the windows, like a greeting from the First Rome.
