Full Description
Land plot with panoramic sea views in an unspoiled area.
Arcadia stands in the centre of the Peloponnese and is a closed land, all mountains and high peaks with large fir forests and lush vegetation. An unspoiled land, little known, full of surprises, truly enchanting. On the eastern coast it is washed by the gulf of Argos and the Mirtoo Sea where it has curved fantastic bays and peninsulas on the coastline. Whoever roams through Arcadia today will get to know a part of the country that has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. The home town of the development, Leonidio, is one of the oldest naval cities in Greece. The valley of Leonidio in ancient times was known as the “Garden of Dionysus” a fact that connects the worship of god Dionysus with the cultivation of vineyards. The new town was founded in 1826, after the destruction of the city of Prastos by the Ottoman Empire. Leonidio boasts for its special and globally protected type of eggplant (the Tsakonian) which also donates its name to the local Eggplant Festival – Melitzazz.
