This is what its name says, due to the asteroid shape of the peninsula on which the #castle that dominates the area was built. #Medieval atmosphere, legends, unrestricted views, churches and beautiful alleys, a stone-built Lighthouse, the open-air theater named after Melina #Mercouri and the statue of a #mermaid! It is called #Stheno and according to mythology it is the most independent and wild, as it stands haughtily in the port. The dream and the expectation of the ideal of a perfect life characterized by #harmony among humans and between men and #nature. This is #utopia. Paralio #Astros is a seaside resort built amphitheatrically and surrounded by beautiful crystal clear waters. Your relaxing walks are perfectly accompanied by a high mood and end in the hospitable taverns and restaurants for greek food and drinks.It is located in a fertile plain that has a strategic position. The Greco-Roman senator Herodes Atticus had built his villa in the area during Roman times.The beach of the settlement is called Kallisto and is fully organized, while you can visit the beaches of Atsiganos and Paliochanos in the north and Portes, Herronisi and Agios Andreas in the south. Next stop is the #Arcadian Village. It is a model settlement, an idea from Arcades expatriates of America. Bright whte and endless Greek blue everywhere. #Kryoneri beach is one of the best and most popular in the area, with the homonymous beach bar being a favorite hangout.

A traditional settlement with a population of #Tsakonian origin overlooking the #Myrtoan Sea. Characteristic is the imposing red rock that rises above the settlement. Ideal destination in recent years for climbing lovers! Also due to the famous eggplant produced in the area, #melitzana in Greek, every year the #Melijazz festival is organized, with a lot of jazz music and of course many eggplants! Houses and mansions of wonderful architecture, towers, bridges, guest houses and picturesque alleys take you to the romance of another era. Every Easter, Leonidio is transformed into a giant scene of spectacle, sound and light. On the one hand the fireworks, on the other 500-600 colorful balloons come off the ground to illuminate the Greek sky! A wonderful spectacle worth watching. In Leonidio there are two beautiful beaches, #Plaka in the small port of the same name with picturesque fish taverns and #Poulithra, built on the outskirts of mount Parnon, a place that perfectly combines mountain and sea, quality holidays and good food. The next beach is called #Fokiano, it is beautiful, but it is difficult to access. Continuing south we meet #Kiparissi, one of the best beaches in the Peloponnese. Pebbles, crystal clear waters and aroma of authentic Greece! Did you know that an impressive fjord may not be found in Norway, but in Laconia region of Peloponnese? This is the Port of Ierakas.
