The Municipality of Mystras, lying between Mt. Taygetos and the towns of the plain, offers visitors rest and recreation all yea r round. It provides the quietest hotels of the region, plenty of rooms to let, two fully equipped camping sites and the loveliest tavernas of all.

In Anavryti, the neo-classical building of the old Primary School houses a Botanical and Geological Museum with a photographi exhibition of the native flora of Taygetos and its rocks. The village is a starting point for a tour of Mt. Taygetos. It is here that the paths begin for the shelter (E4), for Mystras, for Aghios Ioannis and Taygeti. From Parori begins the path to Panaghia (Our Lady) Langadiotissa, a marveloys church built inside a cave and to the Monastery of Phaneromeni. From Mystras there is a lovely route to Picoulianica, Taygeti and also to Aghios Ioannis of Vouvalon and Neos Mystras. Visit the site of Kaiadas and walk around the grounds of the Sainopoulian Theatre.

The Municipality of Mystras has excellent products to display. The microclimate on the slopes of Taygetos favours the cultivation of olive trees and the oil produced, both conventional and biological is extremely tasty. Biological cultivation as well as biological cattle-raising is favoured in the region, owing to the controlled pasturelands. In Karavas there is a cheese-dairy that produces feta cheese from local milk. There are also several bee-keepers who produce excellent honey.
