Plakias History
Plakias showcases over 4,000 years of cultural heritage. Its landscapes are dotted with ancient monuments, monasteries, and villages, forming a harmonious blend of history and nature. One of the area's most famous myths is the story of Zeus, who, disguised as a white bull, abducted Europa and brought her to the palm grove at Preveli.
The ancient town of Lamon once thrived here, and the region continued to flourish throughout the Byzantine and Venetian periods, leaving behind a rich architectural and cultural legacy. The two monasteries of Preveli are particularly important, housing significant historical artifacts and treasures.
