Day Trip

(Guided tour)

The central church of the monastery is an imposing building with a large dome, which rests on small arches defining an octagonal space inside the church. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the church had rich ceramoplastic decoration, colorful marble revetments and exquisite mosaics on a golden background that complemented the luxurious construction. The crowded scenes of the mosaics narrate scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin. The individual figures represent archangels, prophets, saints, martyrs, bishops.

The castle city is spread on the slope of a naturally fortified hill next to the imposing Mt. Taygetos. It was the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, a period of prosperity and cultural flourishing. It was a superb center of philosophy, culture and the arts, but also a characteristic example of a fortified Byzantine city. The site includes fortifications, the palaces of the Mystras Despots, urban buildings, the cathedral, several important churches and monasteries.

The Museum transports you to the culture, history and technology of the olive and olive oil production in the Greek realm, from prehistoric times to the early 20th century. 
The Museum's objective is to highlight the ineffable relation of the olive with the identity of our country and, more generally, the Mediterranean basin. The olive and olive oil are presented from different optical angles: the economy, nutrition and the olive's uses, religious worship, art and technology.
