Kyparissia

Over Kyparissia

Kyparissia is a coastal town in western Messenia, overlooking the Ionian Sea. Kyparissia is a relaxed and relatively untouristed destination, making it a good base for exploring western Messenia. Built on the slopes below a medieval castle, it is divided into two distinct parts: the atmospheric Upper Town (Ano Poli), with narrow lanes and traditional stone houses, and the modern Lower Town along the coast, centred around the harbour and beaches.
