One way to traverse Taygetos Massif, is to ride on the road (±50km) which links Kalamata and Sparta, the two capital cities of Messinia and Lakonia, respectively. Route 82 is the route of choice if you are doing a circle tour of the Peloponnese. A winding wildly road (bt. In 1949) with overhanging rocks, tunnels and many switchbacks going up and down. Definitely, a great experience, where you can have a lot of fun. The road passes next to Mystras which is the best preserved medieval -Byzantine archaeological site in Greece.
