The historical buildings in Mystra date back to the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, Crusaders built a castle. Subsequently, it became the residence of Byzantine princes who ruled over parts of the Peloponnese. Around 1700, 40,000 people lived here. The monastery is still inhabited by nuns.

A nice climb to the ruins but it's worth the detour. Our children will think they are knights.
