Dimitsana
A mountain village in Arcadia's Gortynia region, Dimitsana sits high on a slope above the Megalopolis plain, with views stretching toward the Taygetus range. Built on the ruins of the ancient town of Teuthis, it holds an open-air water-power museum, a historical library, and a striking number of churches for its size, alongside a pocket-sized but real café and restaurant scene. The wider Peloponnese region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
