Gythio Reviews -General

We had much fun in our vacations in Gythio. Actually, we stayed only for three days there during our tour in Laconia. Last summer, we thought not to visit another Greek island but see a bit of mainland in Greece. After Monemvasia, we went to Gythio. This is a lovely typical port town. With many fish taverns along the port and nice beaches around. We had rented a room in Mavrovouni, a gorgeous large beach less than 10 minutes drive from Gythio. There were watersports for the kids in Mavrovouni, my daughter loved banana rides! Other close beaches are Selinitsa, picturesque for photo but I didn't let my kids swim there because a rusty old shipwreck was on the shore. But other people were swimming there. The landscape around Gythio was full of old stone towers and the locals told us that they belonged to fighters of the Greek revolution. Areopoli was a nice town, too. Unfortunately, we didn't know about Caves Diros and we didn't go there. From the photos I have seen on the Internet, it must be nice.
