Γύθειο - νησάκι Κρανάη _ Gytheio and tiny island of Cranae

Показать описание
Το Γύθειο είναι ιστορική κωμόπολη και λιμάνι που βρίσκεται στη νότια Πελοπόννησο κοντά στις εκβολές του ποταμού Ευρώτα, δυτικά του μυχού του Λακωνικού κόλπου. Είναι χτισμένο αμφιθεατρικά στους ανατολικούς πρόποδες του όρους Λαρύσιο και αποτελεί το κυριότερο λιμάνι του Λακωνικού κόλπου και το δεύτερο της νότιας Πελοποννήσου, μετά την Καλαμάτα. Η νότια άκρη της πόλης του Γυθείου ενώνεται μέσω μικρού προβλήτα με ένα μικρό νησί, την αρχαία Κρανάη ή Μαραθονήσι, όπου βρίσκονται ο πύργος Τζαννετάκη, ο οκτάγωνος ομώνυμος φάρος (φάρος Κρανάης) και ο μικρός ναός Αγίου Πέτρου.
Gytheio , is a town on the eastern shore of the Mani Peninsula, and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality East Mani, of which it is a municipal unit. It was the seaport of Sparta, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) north. Gytheio is the site of ancient Cranae, a tiny island where according to legend Paris of Troy and Helen from Sparta spent their first night together before departing for Troy, thus igniting the Trojan War.
Gytheio used to be an important port until it was destroyed in 4th century AD, possibly by an earthquake. Even thereafter its strategic location gave Gytheio a significant role in Maniot history. Today it is the largest and most important town in Mani. It is also the seat of the municipality of East Mani
