Location Sights

Kyparissi is a beautiful isolated village, on the east coast of Peloponnese between Leonidio in the North and Monemvasia in the South. The village is really where the road ends, about 4.5 hours drive from Athens. It was even isolated from the rest of Greece until 1970, when it was connected by road to Sparta. In the past, access to the village was only possible by a path from the mountain or by ferry from Piraeus. In 2002, the ferry connection was also interrupted and only the difficult road from Sparta remained, the last ten kilometers of which take the breath away even for climbers, since they pass between rocky slopes with continuous cliffs lurking at the edge.

In Kyparissi, although it is small, you will find Taverns, Restaurants, cafes, Supermarket, bakery, pastry shop, butcher, basketball court, soccer field and playground.

The nearest gas station, bank and pharmacy are in Molaus (50 km).
