Discover Mystras & Peloponnese

A mythical land of culture and rare natural beauty

The extraordinary diversity and richness of the Peloponnese will capture your soul

Astonishing natural beauty, ancient and medieval landmarks and a special energy that continues to inspire creativity and enlightenment … the drama of the landscape surrounding Euphoria Retreat is but a microcosm of the Peloponnese.

With a backdrop of Mt Taygetus, rising to a full 2,407m above sea level, the grand scene of nature and adventure spills out before you as you arrive at Euphoria Retreat. The combination of deep ravines and a dark green blanket of fir and pine trees gives the tallest mountain in the Peloponnese an aura that begs to be explored on foot or simply admired from afar.

Mystical Mystras

Dominating the foreground is the fortified town of Mystras, fought over by Franks, Venetians, Byzantines and Ottomans, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site whose Byzantine splendour of impressive churches, palaces, fortresses and cobbled paths continues to transmit its mystical energy as strongly as ever.

WHAT TO DO
IN MYSTRAS

Healing culture

But you will undoubtedly be tempted to travel much further afield, such is the extraordinary cultural diversity of the Peloponnese.

A taste of paradise

And where culture ends, nature begins. The Peloponnese doesn’t just boast imposing mountains and lush valleys, but also a wonderful coastline.

A fairy tale landscape

No less magical is an excursion to the uniquely preserved medieval town of Monemvasia, whose mosaic of stone alleyways and Byzantine castle walls.
