This episode of “Wander Words” takes us to the captivating land of Laconia — a place of striking natural beauty and deep historical roots.
A destination where you can venture through the picturesque villages of Mount Parnon and Mount Taygetus, or unwind along the many beaches that grace the Laconian coastline.
It is a land where history is ever-present — spanning from ancient times to the modern day.
Monuments from nearly every era are scattered across the landscape, bearing witness to a region that has flourished, declined, and risen again — tracing powerful historical cycles of loss and renewal.
