The Peloponnese region uses the caption ‘Mythical Peloponnese’ to describe the region. It was here that modern European culture was born. This is where it all started.

The Messinia region is to the north west of the Peloponnese peninsula and is green and fertile, unlike the harsher, craggier landscapes of the Mani further south.

There is so much antiquity and culture within a short drive of all our accommodation in the Messinia region. All the places of interest listed below are within a two, to two and a half hour drive of the  Chrani Village area where most of our accommodation is located.
