by Well known city from the greek history. One of the biggest competitors of Athens, also in a military sense.
The modern city is like most of the other greek cities with a middle size. There're some nice posibilities for bars and restaurants, but typically for tourists.

And spot, you should visit there is the medieval city of Mistra, that I found very beautiful, the rest is just the average.
