Tsintzina
Tsintzina is a lovely village
located in the Parnon Mountains of the Peloponnesus in Greece. Only since the
year 2000 has the town been accessible
by paved road. In the 19th and the first half of the
twentieth centuries, the residents lived in the summer in Tsintzina and the
winter down near Sparta in Goritsa.
It used
to be an agricultural village where wheat was grown up in the surrounding
mountains in rocky soil and sheep and goats were herded. Two attached pictures,
one taken in 2003 
and the other around 1900 
show
how the land has become much greener with the elimination of herding and
farming.
