Our road leads us through endless olive groves around Kalamata, through a mountain panorama, through Sparta and finally to the historical site of Mystras. This last stronghold of the Byzantine Empire is held as the most important historical site on the Peloponnes, but being winter there is not much going on and we can rest for the night on one of the empty parking lots in front of the entrance.<br \/>\nToday Mystras is a ruin city that lies on a mountain slope. The old fortress crowns the top of the mountain above the city. The vast ruins around it make the extent of the ancient city visible. Visitors are welcomed at two entrances, one at the top near the fortress and one near the bottom for the ancient city. The lady at the ticket booth told us twice that it&#8217;s best to visit the lower city and then take our car to the top and have a look at the rest. We wonder why, since there are nice paths everywhere and our hiking boots are already tied. So we head up the mountain on foot dispite the recommendation. When we reached the upper gate the other lady at the entrance was bewondered and asked us if we came all the way up here on foot. Must fall into the category \u201etypically greek\u201c we think, since hiking for fun here in Greece does not yet belong a normal way of life. Strange enough since we are only 7km away from the birthplace of the ultimative marathon: The Spartathlon! The Messenger Pheidippides ran a total of 246km all the way from Athens to Sparta all in just one day to ask the Spartans to join the battle of Marathon against the Persian empire. Todays record for this annual insane long run lies at 20 hours and 25 minutes!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\ude91\u2026.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Weiter geht es auf unserer Peloponnes-Tour! Wir fahren durch schier unendliche Olivenhaine rings um Kalamata, durch tolles Bergpanorama weiter nach Sparta und schlie\u00dflich zur Weltkulturerbest\u00e4tte Mystras. Diese letzte Hochburg des Byzantinischen Reiches wird als eine der bedeutendsten historischen St\u00e4tten auf dem Peloponnes gehandelt, doch dank Nebensaison ist kaum etwas los und wir k\u00f6nnen auch unser Nachtlager auf einem der leeren Parkpl\u00e4tze vor dem Touristenmagnet aufschlagen.<\/p>\n<p>Mystras ist heute eine Ruinenstadt, die sich \u00fcber einen ausgedehnten Hang erstreckt. Auf der Bergspitze thronte die alte Festung \u00fcber der Stadt, die Ruinen lassen noch die Ausma\u00dfe erahnen. F\u00fcr die Besucher gibt es zwei Einl\u00e4sse in die Ruinenstadt: Einer liegt oben f\u00fcr die Festung und der andere weiter unten f\u00fcr die Siedlung. Mehrfach wurde uns von der Kassiererin am Einlass mitgeteilt, dass wir am besten mit dem Auto von unteren zum oberen Einlass fahren sollten. Wir wundern uns, denn es gibt doch so tolle Wege durch die Ruinenstadt und unsere Wanderschuhe sind auch schon geschn\u00fcrt. Also erklimmen wir entgegen aller Empfehlungen den Gipfel per pedes. Als wir den oberen Einlass passieren, werden wir ungl\u00e4ubig gefragt, ob wir etwa zu Fu\u00df sind. Das geh\u00f6rt mit in die Liste \u201etypisch griechisch\u201c: Wandern ist hier als Freizeitsport erst noch im Kommen \ud83d\ude42 Und das, obwohl im nur 7km entfernten Sparta der Ursprung des ultimativen Marathons liegt: der Spartathlon. Der Bote Pheidippides lief einst die 246 km von Athen nach Sparta an nur einem Tag, um die Spartakianer um Unterst\u00fctzung im Krieg von Marathon gegen die Perser zu bitten. Der heutige Rekord der j\u00e4hrlich stattfindenden Spartathlons liegt \u00fcbrigens bei 20h 25min.!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/myblueocean.org\\\/mainpage\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/24\\\/mystras-mystical-city-of-ruins-mystische-ruinenstadt\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:109311216}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 224px;\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-original-height=\"224\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 334px; height: 224px;\" data-original-width=\"334\" data-original-height=\"224\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/index.php\/2018\/05\/24\/mystras-mystical-city-of-ruins-mystische-ruinenstadt\/034-3\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"330\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"220\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2289\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1365\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7M2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1512981828&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;101&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mystras\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?fit=300%2C200\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?fit=1024%2C683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?w=330&#038;h=220\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/034-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C683 1024w\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\" data-original-width=\"330\" data-original-height=\"220\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"Mystras\" alt=\"The stable rain season in winter and the sun in summer provide the perfect conditions for the black Kalamata-Olives!

Empfehlenswert! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!-- close group --> <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 321px; height: 242px;\" data-original-width=\"321\" data-original-height=\"242\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/index.php\/2018\/05\/24\/mystras-mystical-city-of-ruins-mystische-ruinenstadt\/olympus-digital-camera-168\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"317\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"238\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2294\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;TG-4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1513018773&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;12.6000003815&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mystras\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?fit=300%2C225\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?fit=1024%2C768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?w=317&#038;h=238\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblueocean.org\/mainpage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/34-2a.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w\" width=\"317\" height=\"238\" data-original-width=\"317\" data-original-height=\"238\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"Mystras\" alt=\"Then we head off to Mystras, the valley also full of olive groves as far as the eye can see!
