'''Gytheio''' ([[Greek language|Greek]], Modern: Γύθειο, Ancient/[[Katharevousa]]: -on), also '''Gythio''', '''Githeio''' or '''Githio''' is a town of [[Laconia]] in [[Greece]], long known as the [[seaport]] of [[Sparta]] some 30 miles inland. It lies at the northwestern end of the [[Gulf of Laconia]], in a fertile small plain around the mouth of the [[Gythius River]].<br />
<br />
The reputed founders of ancient '''Gythium''' were [[Heracles]] and [[Apollo]], who frequently appear on its coins: the former of these names may point to the influence of Phoenician traders, who, we know, visited the Laconian shores at a very early period. In classical times it was a community of ''[[Periokoi]]'', politically dependent on Sparta, though doubtless with a municipal life of its own.<br />
<br />
In [[455 BC]], during the [[Peloponnesian Wars|first Peloponnesian War]], it was burned by the Athenian admiral [[Tolmides]]. In [[370 BC]] [[Epaminondas]] besieged it unsuccessfully for three days. Its fortifications were strengthened by the tyrant [[Nabis]], but in [[195 BC]] it was invested and taken by Titus and Lucius Quintius Flamininus and, though recovered by Nabis two or three years later, was recaptured immediately after his murder ([[192 BC]]) by [[Philopoemen]] and [[Aulus Atilius]], and remained in the [[Achaean League]] until the league's dissolution in [[146 BC]].<br />
<br />
Subsequently Gythium formed the most important of the [[Eleutherolaconian towns]], a group of twenty-four, later eighteen, communities leagued together to maintain their autonomy against Sparta and declared free by [[Caesar Augustus]]. The highest officer of the confederacy was the general, who was assisted by a treasurer (''rauias''), while the chief magistrates of the several communities bore the title of [[ephors]].<br />
<br />
[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] (iii. 21 f.) has left us a description of the town as it existed in the reign of [[Marcus Aurelius]], the agora, the Acropolis, the island of [[Cranae]] (Marathonisi) where [[Paris]] celebrated his nuptials with [[Helen of Troy]], the Migonium or precinct of [[Aphrodite Migonitis]] (occupied by the modern town), and the hill Larysium (Koumaro) rising above it. The numerous remains extant, of which the theatre and the buildings partially submerged by the sea are the most noteworthy, all belong to the Roman period.<br />
<br />
The modern Gythio opened a port in the [[1960s]]. It is the [[See]] of the [[Diocese]] of Gytheion and [[Oitylo]], headed by a Metropolitan bishop of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] [[Church of Greece]].<br />
<br />
From [[2003]] to [[2004]], the show which broadcasted on [[Mega Channel]] ''[[Vendetta]]'', a drama-like show which is about a person that has its relatives in the [[Mani Peninsula]] was filmed here for a few episodes.<br />
<br />
The geography of Gythio includes houses align with the hill and the [[Laconian Gulf]]. The port is situated around its main street which is also [[Greece Interstate 37|GR-37]] which links [[Areopoli]] and [[Greece Interstate 86|GR-86]]. Pine trees are situated in the west and rocky mountains in the north.<br />
<br />
Gytheio is well known for its gorgeous girls and its delicious sea food.<br />
