The Church of Agios Nikolaos in the village of Kastro, part of the municipality of Kastro-Kyllini in the northwestern Peloponnese region of Greece, features a modern Greek Orthodox style, recognizable by its large central dome, rounded arches, and striking bell tower. It is located directly below the famous Chlemoutsi Castle (also known as Castel Tornese), which sits atop the hill in the background. The church is a central landmark in the village of Kastro, which is known for its strategic location overlooking the Ionian Sea and the islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia.

The ferry port of Kyllini in the western Peloponnese is the main hub for crossings to the Ionian Islands. From here, there are daily connections year-round, primarily operated by Levante Ferries: To Zakynthos: The crossing takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. To Kefalonia (Poros): The crossing takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. To Ithaca (Pisaetos): This route is usually served seasonally (approximately from mid-July to early September).

The Monastery of Panagia Eleousa (Moni Panagias Eleousis), located in a verdant ravine near the village of Lygia, was built in the 9th century AD. It is named after an icon of the Virgin Mary, which, according to tradition, was found in a nearby cave. During the Turkish occupation, it served as a refuge for persecuted people and played a central role in the Greek Revolution of 1821. In 1863, the monastery was set on fire by pirates, after which the local people restored it and built additional fortifications.

The name of this place is familiar to both culture-loving travelers to Greece, as well as athletes and sports-loving spectators from almost every country in the world. "The Olympic Games have been held in the Peloponnese since 776 BC. ... 1,000 years of athletic feats, struggles for honor and olive branches. Stories of heroes and demigods, and - of scandals. In Olympia, the bases of victors' statues, the stumps of columns, the parts of temples can be read like a sporting and cult almanac," states the website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity," which documents the sites declared World Heritage by UNESCO.

Next to the old stone bridge is the exit point from the Neda Gorge to reach the waterfalls.

The waterfall directly at the stone bridge is not the highlight; the more beautiful ones come later on the tour.

Closed on Tuesdays!!!

a unique emotion to be in the places where the first Olympics took place
