Arcadia. How much beauty can a place hide? Once, this land was part of the Kingdom of Agamemnon, Leonidas of Sparta, and the Byzantine Emperors. The hidden secrets of nature resonate with ancient melodies and forgotten lyrics.
Stemnitsa
This traditional settlement of Arcadia has 200 inhabitants and is 220 km south of Athens. It is built on Mount Mainalo at an altitude of 1080 m. The area was known since antiquity by the name Hypsous, while Stemnitsa means a wooded and shady place. In the revolution of 1821 it played a leading role. It served as the base of General Kolokotronis while it was the seat of the first Peloponnesian Senate. A walk in the colorful Stemnitsa will change your mood! Coffee shops and taverns, well-groomed yards, shops with delicious traditional products! In the main square you will relax before taking a stroll to Kastro with a panoramic view of a pure and truly unforgettable nature! Tower houses, cobblestones sheltered by walnuts and cherry trees, fountains under the shade of age-old plane trees ... This is the magic of Stemnitsa! The Palamideika district, the uphill path to Mana Nero (water source of the village), Pera Meria, Aeraki, where you can enjoy a magnificent sunset towards the Ionian Sea and the Zoodochos Pigi Monastery are a few trekking options.
Vitina
Situated in a verdant area dominated by pine, fir and chestnut trees, Vitina is one of the most valued mountain resorts in the Peloponnese and in Greece overall. The permanent residents are 650 and it has been declared a traditional settlement. In ancient times, the goddess Demetra and Poseidon were worshiped here. St. Tryphon's church has been dominating the main square since 1846. Two traditional bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants are located around the square and worth a visit. Nuts and almonds, renowned local honey and cheese, handmade pasta and sweets are just some of the delicacies that the locals will offer you in their shops! Stroll through the narrow streets of Vitina, admire the mansions, the view from the hill and the details of such a special place! And one thing is certain: you will fill your lungs with fresh air, you will much enjoy food and drinks, and experience unforgettable moments of relaxation!
