MOUNT TAYGETOS Mount Taygetos is famous not for what used to be there but for what is there now.
Among the designated areas was Mount Taygetos, one of Greece's most spectacular nature reserves, which had just begun to recover from devastating blazes in 1998.
The only ruins I visited (on the way to the Mani peninsula), and very impressive ones at that, was Mystra, a Byzantine city founded in the thirteenth century in the foothills of the Taygetos mountains, "occupying an exceptional site," as the Green Guide puts it.
