GYMNO, Village, LYRKIA

  After the village of Sterna, we reach Gymno. It is a lively village situated upon the eastern mountainsides of Mountain Farmakas. With the old stony houses, the traditional fountain and the Byzantine chapel of the Virgin Mary, Gymno maintains the mountainous characteristics. At the same time, though, it is a village with characteristics of a plain, as it has smooth land, several modern houses and easy communication with Argos and Nemea.
