LACONIA

Unique natural beauty, in an enchanting landscape, ideal for wandering and discovery, the largest city of Laconia, Sparta, lies beside the Eurotas River and is a modern urban center, with broad, tree-lined streets, large squares, and neoclassical buildings. The plain that stretches around it is lush with olive trees, orange trees, lemon trees, mulberries and other trees. To the southwest, Mount Taygetos rises with its soaring peaks and wild beauty, while to the east of the city lies the Parnon mountain range, thick with firs and other trees.
