This video shows the interesting mountain journey that leads to the Orthodox Monastery of Saint Nikolaos of Kaltezes. The First Assembly of the Peloponnesian Senate took place at this monastery (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesian_Senate / panoramio.com/photo/122986519) in 1821, during the Greek War of Independence (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_War_of_Independence).
