Laconia is a perfect destination for exploration on various levels<\/strong>. Beyond the natural beauty, the beaches, and the beautiful landscapes, food is also a great reason to visit<\/strong>. Laconia produces almost everything, from honey<\/strong>, olive oil<\/strong><\/a>, oranges, lemons, luxury wine to all kinds of vegetables<\/strong>. The meat also comes from the region. The oxen in Mani graze freely, as do sheep and other animals throughout the entire region. The fish is always fresh from the Laconian Gulf<\/strong><\/a>. I decided to start presenting to you the reasons you should visit Laconia. The first category is a food guide<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the photos below, you can get a taste of the traditional pies \u201cPita travichti<\/strong><\/a>\u201d from Mani region<\/strong><\/a>. In appearance, it closely resembles the famous Hungarian L\u00e1ngos<\/strong><\/a>. It is a delicacy made from dough fried in oil and is often served with the well-known kalamaki <\/i>or <\/i>souvlaki<\/strong><\/a> (pieces of meat in skewer)<\/em> or with local graviera cheese<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The photos you see here were taken today in the town of Gythio<\/strong><\/a> (Mani Laconia)<\/em>, at the best place where you can find traditional pites tavichtes., also drink a glass of local wine As you can see, this place not only offers the most delicious pites, but its decoration reminds us of other times and decades. I will come back with a new article about this place. So if you happen to visit Gythio<\/strong>, you must try \u201cpites tavichtes\u201d known also as \u201cpites maniatikes\u201d.<\/p>\n
