Basilica of Kyparissos

Βασιλική, Κυπάρισσος, Λακωνία

The Basilica of Kyparissos stands in a small seaside settlement in Eastern Mani, Laconia, within the Municipality of Oitylos. This Byzantine church occupies ground near the site of ancient Kainipolis and close to Cape Tainaro, a landscape layered with Roman and Byzantine history. The village itself has been a designated traditional settlement since 1978, and the church remains a modest but enduring presence within it. Its setting, where the Mani coast meets deep layers of the past, gives this quiet place of worship a resonance far beyond its size.
