The first history report comes from Homer in the Iliad where he says that Kyparissia, a city that was ruled by King Nestor, took part in the Trojan War providing manned triremes.

In the middle-years its name was Arcadia, probably by the too many Arcades who came running from the Slavous. After the abolition of Byzantium, it was enslaved by the Francs and later by the Turkeys.

Its castle, which is like a crown on its head, indicates an ancient history and challenges you to visit it so that your eyes can travel to Sforades and Zakynthos.
The visitors mustn't miss the opportunity to visit the scenic villages, the ruins of the temple of Apollo and the walls of the city near the train Station. A must are also the Source of Dionysus and the vaulted tombs of Peristeria and Mouriatada.
