The town of Gythio has a few interesting examples of Byzantine churches.
One main church is Agioi Pantes, on the top of Mountain Koumaros. This location is very popular not only due to the church, but also because of the great panoramic view to Gythio and the Laconian Gulf. |

However, the most famous church of Gythio is Agios Petros, right in front of the harbour, on the islet “Kranae”. This island is connected to the mainland by a roadway, so it can be easily reached in order to visit this church.
There are also numerous other churches, less known, along the town centre. Just stroll around and discover them! |
