2407 Mountain Activities,

Kaedamili, September 2010

The mountain is named after Taygete, a nymph and daughter of Atlas. Its highest peak is named Taletos. Local people however call it Prophitis Elias. According to Nifakos:
“Spartans used to call the mountain ‘Taygetos’ while local people called it ‘Prophitis Elias’ ”

Kardamili preserves its name for 3240 years. Agamemnon offered Kardamili to Achilles as dowry for his daughter, if Myrmidonas retook part in the war of Troia.

At a height of 2407 meters above sea is the peak of Profitis Ilias or Further Ilias, as the Maniots like to call it. It is the highest point of the Taygetos Mountains and of all the Peloponnese.
