[Kolokotronis]

Thanks for the post. This place is about 150 km southeast of Sparti at the very southern end of the most easterly of the three peninsulas at the bottom of the Peloponnesus. Its a beautiful area.

It’s not sandy Pylos of Homeric fame, is it?

The ancient town of Pavlopetri lies in three to four metres of water just off the coast of southern Laconia in Greece. The ruins date from at least 2800 BC through to intact buildings, courtyards, streets, chamber tombs and some thirty-seven cist graves which are thought to belong to the Mycenaean period (c.1680-1180 BC). This Bronze Age phase of Greece provides the historical setting for much Ancient Greek literature and myth, including Homer's Age of Heroes

If I had a Time Machine, Bronze Age Greece would be a mandatory stop. Plus a quick visit to Thermopylae to see King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans (plus the Athenians he had) kick Xerxes' Persian butt for two days (day 3 wasn't too good).
