Moving on from Sparti there is a tough choice of routes: west over the Taiyetos ridge, either on foot or by road through the dramatic Langadha pass to Kalamata; east to the Byzantine towns of Yeraki and Monemvasia ; or south, skirting the mountain's foothills, to Yithio and the Mani. For anyone wanting to get to grips with the Greek mountains, there is Mount Taiyetos itself. Although the range is one of the most beautiful, dramatic and hazardous in Greece, with vast grey boulders and scree along much of its length, it has one reasonably straightforward path to the highest peak, Profitis Ilias. Three areas, covering different and specialized ecological habitats, in the higher mountains and the gorges of Langadha and Nedhondas, were included for conservation under the EU's NATURA 2000 programme.
