Kerasitsa, one of the most vibrant and historic traditional settlements of mountainous Arcadia, is a fertile village of the Municipality of Tripoli built in a central position in the southern part of the Mantinean plateau at an altitude of 690 meters, which rightly attracts the interest of visitors due to its rich cultural identity and its strategic location in the famous Tegea plain. A point of reference of the area is its historical connection with the pacifist and fighter for democracy Grigoris Lambrakis, as the village is his birthplace, with his family's old carpentry workshop having been transformed into a modern museum-cum-memory space. Today, Kerasitsa enchants the visitor with the imposing church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary that dominates the settlement, its beautiful stone houses and the central square where the Lambrakis monument dominates, while it is surrounded by lush green fields filled with cherry and sour cherry trees. With its trademark the annual institution of the Panpeloponnesian Peace March that starts from here and its proximity to the important archaeological monuments of ancient Tegea, it is a top destination for lovers of modern history, cultural tourism and alternative tours in the Arcadian nature.
