The city of Kiparissia is like a puzzle piece in the base of the fort, the lower regions reach to the sandy beaches of the Ionian sea. Around the castle is a field planted with olive trees and vines. It is said that the sunset view from the castle is one of the most impressive in the world. Whichever direction you look in this environment, you can see ancient, Byzantine and Frankish monuments.
Filiatra. Filiatra is the second largest city in the region of Messinia and is located in the Trifilia valley. The land here is very fertile and the inhabitants are mostly farmers.
