Kardamili is a paradise for nature lovers and for families who hike. In this family hiking tour, you will hike around Old Kardamili and the abandoned fortified tower houses following the path that once was part of the ancient so-called “Royal Road” connecting Kardamili with Sparta, in the Peloponnese. You will have the chance to marvel the Tower of Troupakis – Mourtzinos, that used to belong to one of the most powerful Maniot families, enter the 18th century church of Aghios Spiridon (Saint Spiridon) and visit the museum operating in the complex.

A burst of colors and fragrances of flowers and herbs will overwhelm you and bring you even closer to the natural environment.
