    Gorani

    The settlement of Gorani is built at an altitude of 660 metres and has approximately 165 permanent residents. It seems that the area has been inhabited since the Mycenaean era, as a looted Mycenaean vaulted tomb was found in neighbouring Arkina, which testifies to the existence of a settlement. Also, findings of different periods, mainly clay vessels, were found in many places.

    During the Byzantine years, Gorani played a vital role in the struggle of the Greeks against the Slavs, who settled in the mountainous areas of Taygetos in the 6th century AD, occupying the area until their defeat by the Byzantine army. During the second Turkish occupation (1715-1821), it was the capital of the Turkobardunians. This happened both because of the fortified location in which the settlement was built and because of the fortified tower of the Rubides (military leaders).

    Finally, near Gorani, visitors can find the Monastery of Gola, founded in 1632 and destroyed after the Revolution of 1821.
