A detour to Sparta (Sparti)
12 OCTOBER 2012 - (Cont’d) - We head off thanks to our trusty “Dimitri” (our gps) towards Monemvassia. We were driving along and admiring the pretty scenery for a few hours. We seemed to be stuck in front of this motorbike rider that loved to ride his bike around many bends on the wrong side of the road and we just couldn’t believe how much of an idiot he was. We didn’t want to be stuck behind him just in case ...
Relaxing trip to Agios Andreas
... of the fortress, even though in ruins, continue to be impressive. The castle of Methoni occupies the whole area of the headland and is protected by the sea on its three sides.

As we arrived reasonably late (ie hot) in the afternoon we scheduled it in for the morning of our departure. Get up early, cram another rancid breakfast down our throats and hit it early, BAM: this is the plan. The sun rises early here, but only remembers that it's a massive ball of superheated molten metal at around 10am, so if we crack on for 8am ...
Spartan Sights
The drive from Kalamata to Sparta is apparently one of the most breathtaking routes to drive in the Peloponnese, and I can endorse that claim whole-heartedly. I didn't realise quite how mountainous this region is, so was quite unprepared for some of the jaw-dropping scenery we have been privileged to see. The road climbs out of Kalamata, which is situated by the water on the low plain, and begins to climb up and up. The route takes ...
