debldp Posted March 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Has anyone been to Chemoutsi, a Frankish castle? (Sorry, I am not sure of the spelling.) Is it worth going to if we are renting a car and are planning to go to Olympia? Also, the Mercouri Estate Winery...Is this worth going to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chlemoutsi castle is large and quite well maintained I can't remember the ticket price somewhere around 3-5 Euros. It's quite well signposted along the National highway near Kyllini. Mercouri is good if you like wine tasting, personally I enjoy sitting in a local taverna eating a snack (meze) with a half liter of local wine - very good. Kaifas Lake Is also not far away - thermal springs, pine trees and the sea a very tranquil place. Epicurius Apollo Is an amazing place there are the central ruins but in an enclosure is the Temple dedicated to Apollo - I really enjoyed visiting it you can get up close and personal to the Temple and hardly anyone about. Caution: you'll need 3 hours minimum to get there and back. Beaches I love Zacharo about 40 minutes from Katakolon - closest is Kourouta beach but its too touristy for my tastes. Enjoy your visit to Greece :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
