Rural Hideaway

True Greece

Mistraki is conveniently situated between seaside villages Koroni and Finikounda. Short drive to beaches, water sports, historical attractions, activities and golf courses.

A rustic oasis with cobble stone paths, spring water well, citrus trees and a small church. Technological developments have made little impact. Agriculture is of prime importance, especially the cultivation of olives for producing olive oil.

There are no shops or bars, just soothing chatter of cicadas and birdsong. A quiet place to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy your privacy.

Mystraki History

Folklore and Myth

Mistraki is classified as a traditional settlement of historic interest. The preserved stone houses, built by Arcadian immigrants after the Greek Revolution are over a hundred years old.

The name Mystraki is possibly of Byzantine origin because it sounds similar to the larger area of Mystras in Sparti. A monastery and Byzantine church Saint Theodore were built in the 13th century on a nearby site of an ancient Greek temple. The church is covered with holy icons and Byzantine frescoes identical to those in churches at Mistras depicting Christ, Virgin Mary and the Saints.
