The village lies in the heart of the mountain, surrounded by lush green fir trees. As we entered the village, we found a beautiful traditional caf\u00e9 where we had coffee and brandy, as well as a tavern that, from what we could tell, only operates on weekends. The peace and tranquility offered by this small mountain village was our reward for making the journey of over an hour to get there.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This destination is one of the most ideal in Laconia for those who love the tranquility of the mountains, hiking among the fir trees, and good food. As one ascends the cobblestone alleys of the village, the architectural elegance of the stone houses gradually unfolds, harmoniously integrated with the surrounding natural landscape. The rivers that traverse the village, lend an additional layer of charm to this picturesque mountainous setting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428\" style=\"width: 800px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1428\" src=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kafeneiotzitzina.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">the traditional kafeneio of the village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1429\" src=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tzitzina2.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1430\" style=\"width: 768px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1430\" src=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Qb46y3-h-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Qb46y3-h-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Qb46y3-h-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Qb46y3-h-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/berlinoilconnection.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Qb46y3-h.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">on the way to the village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On one of our planned excursions to Mount Parnon on May 1st 2025, we took a road that led us to the village of Polydroso, also known by its old Slavic name, Tzitzina.
