Kingdom of Laconia

[Giorgos]

Thira is a Greek Orthodox monastery nestled on the cliff face of the Meni peninsular in the south of Laconia. It is a sacred location with over 2000 years of history and access to the monastary by the general public and tourists is forbidden.

Many cruise ships however dock in the bay of Meni for days on end and provide passangers with the chance to bathe in the warm (26C) waters of the bay with views of the cliffs, the church and the historical windmills.

Just a quick update showing the skyline of Nemea at night

Now those are some nice pics.
I just wish there was some other way you could have done that first intersection.  Too bad a roundabout won't go there.

Beautiful city!! 
That first intersection does look like there could be some traffic jams, lol, but still amazingly done! Can't wait to see more.

Great pics, I love the night shots and I like the way the water looks in the previous update!

Archaea is a historical region in the south of Laconia, located between the previously featured monastery of Thira and the large cosmopolitan city of Erosa.

Due to the present day rugged nature of the terrain, the historical site of Archea Polis which was an important cultural and religious spot in the late centuries BC has no real public access and can only be viewed by the nearby bay or mountain tops or close up by trekking through the wilderness which currently surrounds the site.

Awesome updates!!!

Continuing on with my tour of Ancient Greek sites, Olympia is situated 120km north-west of Archaea and is famous for the Temple of Hera as well as the historic Agio Pantelimon church built in 1200AD out of ruins left on the site from the destruction of an ancient temple and treasury house by the invading Turks.

Today, the area is popular with tourists as the secluded beach offers clean and warm waters to enjoy in the summer and tourist accommodation is located just 3 kilometers away in the town of Naxi.

Wow!  Excellent job on Nemea, Archaea, and Olympia.  I especially like the flora.
