The area is one of the most beautiful in Greece, rich in plantation, with untouchable endless beaches, where even today, those giant sea turtles "Caretta-caretta", choose to build their nests, a few minutes outside the village of Kalo Nero.
Kyparissia is famous for its climate and products. But the most exciting characteristic is the Sunrise and especially the Sunset that makes the horizon dive in a kind of flame… "I admire there the most beautiful sunset of my travels!" said Clemanseau, when he came in town, in the 20th century, to initiate the railway.
There are some important religious holidays such as: Trinity Sunday and the Day of the Holy Cross and every summer the municipality organises cultural events.
With a past that disappears in prehistoric times and mythology, Kyparissia lies at the foot of Egaleo Mountain with the blue-green waters of the Ionian lying at her feet.
It is also called "Double City" because it consists of the upper city, which is the traditional one with cobbled roads, roofed verandas and the incredibly beautiful view to the open sea, and the down town, the modern one, with the contemporary buildings and the governmental and financial centre of the area.
Surely its trademark is Neda, the famous river that travels you to mythology or dream's ways. The river hides a huge variety of pictures: torrents, tributaries, ravines hill or vegetation, idyllic lagoons the canyon of incredible beauty, the dark cave (stomio) with bats, small or big waterfalls, arched bridges… everything is impressive! Every year it attracts a lot of people to adventurous enjoyable canyoning. The area is shelter to the Mediterranean sea - turtle "caretta - caretta" which is reproduced there. You can find more information about it at the appropriate desks which make the public aware.
