Kyllini is a small district that functions as one of the most important ports on the westernmost cape of the Peloponnese region of Greece. The city of Kyllini connects the Ionian islands to the mainland and has a long coast covering many beautiful villages. Besides offering the perfect access point to enjoy yachting around the Greek islands, the area takes pride in its rich cultural and historical heritage. The Castle of Chlemoutsi was built between 1220 and 1224 and was considered a very important spot for the Peloponnesians. The castle clearly shows an example of Frankish architecture in its appearance. Moreover, it has ruins as well as texts that confirm the habitation of Kyllini from the Paleolithic ages. The castle hosts the Andravida-Kyllini International Festival of Art and Culture every summer. This is where you can enjoy a musical journey based on several myths and the history of Greece. The monastery of Vlaherna on the other hand is evidence of the flourishing period during the Byzantine years. Visitors can tour the monastery and take part in the annual festival, known as one of the most warm-hearted events in the Peloponnese. Kyllini was a reference point to the ancient city of Elis, the organizer of the Olympic Games, which started in 776 BC. According to legend, the ancient god Hermes was the protector of the city and represents a symbol of prosperity. Kyllini offers hills with olive and lemon trees, magical sunsets, and plenty of yacht rentals that depart from the port to the Ionian Sea.
