With such a diverse island offering, it’s not very often tourists spend a large amount of time on mainland Greece, but this southern regional gem is well worth an extended visit. With scenic rolling hills, olive groves, world-famous oranges and boasting the cleanest beaches in all of Greece, the small villages around Laconia provide a tranquil and relaxed holiday setting; a far cry from the historic images drawn up by it’s war loving capital, Sparta. This is the undiscovered Greece that the children of the 60’s and 70’s celebrated so much and the good news is, Greece’s untouched authentic beauty still exists here.
