Has anyone been to Gythion?

Hallo Linda,

I've been to Gytheion once. It's a small town, very picturesque I'd say. Greek tradiotonal tavernas and cafeterias around the port, not that expensive as in other places. If you have the time just rent a car and go to Diros cave, around 40km, a MUST see.

What rental car companies are near the port in Gythion? Are taxis available at the port for hire for a half day or so?

Thanks.

There were taxis available at the port. We took one out to the dirks caves then came back and had lunch in the port. It was a pleasant day.

Having been there recently, I would say Gythion is a port that looks better from the ship than "up close and personal"

 

Should I visit there again, I would either get a taxi and go somewhere else or treat it like a sea day.
