Although Greece is famous for its’ island-hopping experience in the Cyclades, you will not be able to imagine the authentic experience of mainland Greece. Spend a week for the road-tripping experience, as advised from Conde Nast Traveler, to discover the genuine beauty of Greece. Start off from Laconia in Peloponnese, the southernmost point of mainland Greece, drive to the south side of the peninsula towards charming Gytheio, visit the medieval abandoned town of Vathia to admire the emblematic tower houses and enjoy fresh fish at the seaside village of Limeni; then, head towards Cape Tainaron, one of Laconia’s most notorious legends where ancient Greeks believed that was one of the entrances to Hades, the underworld of Greek mythology, and make a stop at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mystras.
