Recognizing the previous Mystery was Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill, who wrote: “This is Gythio, Greece, on the eastern shore of the Mani Peninsula. It is now part of the municipality of East Mani in the Peloponnese Region. It has a permanent population of under 7,000 people and it’s about a three-hour drive from Athens. According to legend, Paris of Troy and Helen of Sparta spent their first night together here before departing for Troy and igniting the Trojan War.” The photo came from Susan LeMaster of Atlanta.
Others sending in the right answer were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of Gytheio (aka Gythio or Gythion), a town on the eastern shore of the Mani Peninsula in Greece. Today it is a beautiful port town that certainly lives up to its name, which when translated from Greece, means ‘Land of the Gods.’ Myth has it that Gytheio was founded by Apollo (the sun god) and Hercules (the god of strength). Today, Gytheio is the main port for ferry and cruise ship landings at the Mani Peninsula.”
