Mystras or Mistras (Greek: Μυστρᾶς/Μιστρᾶς),[2] also known as Myzithras (Μυζηθρᾶς) in the Chronicle of the Morea, is a fortified town and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Situated on Mt. Taygetos, near ancient Sparta, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering. The site remained inhabited throughout the Ottoman period, when it was mistaken by Western travellers for ancient Sparta. In the 1830s, it was abandoned and the new town of Sparti was built, approximately eight kilometres to the east

Leonidio is a beautiful Greek town with approximately 6000 residents, and the up-and-coming “it” crag for winter climbing in Greece. Leonidio is built in a valley at the foot of Mount Parnon, on the east coast of Peloponnese. Towering above the homes like a giant fiery waterfall is a jaw-dropping, 250-meter, red limestone cliff. The entire area around Leonidio is dotted with climbing crags, mostly for sport climbing. There is vast potential for much further climbing development in Leonidio. On the downside, though, climbing routes in Leonidio are not yet entirely free of loose rock, many approach paths are still bad and poorly marked, and some crags are hard to locate
