The "Olympian of Ladas" Ladas People Cultural Association
Spread the word
The "The Olympian of Ladas" Ladas People Cultural Association was founded in September 1981 in Kalamata, following the actions of the late teacher Panagiotis Chrystathakis to organise cultural events, the maintenance of monuments and listed buildings, the marking of paths in the villages of Taygetos, etc.
The Cultural Association takes its name from the Olympian Lada (5th century BC), who died on his return from ancient Olympia on the way to Sparta and is buried there. Pausanias found his tomb, which he mentions in his "Travels". ("Laconica").
