WIN A 7 NIGHT HOLIDAY FOR TWO TO CORFU. Click here to ENTER.

Overview

Introduction

The tiny fishing village of Gerolimenas has a pebble beach, a handful of waterside tavernas and one of the most atmospheric hotels in the entire south. The road continues south, past the much photographed 'tower house village' of Vathia, and then loops up the eastern coast and back over to Areopolis, enabling a Deep Mani circuit to be easily completed.

Gerolimenas and Deep Mani

2 - 2.5 hours drive from Kalamata

An hour's drive south from Stoupa and Aghios Nikolaos and you are in deep (inner) Mani. Here the landscape changes from lush and fertile to arid and lunar. The change is dramatic - almost as though a border has been crossed - but the landscape has a mesmerising beauty. Here the mountains seem to loom even larger.

Deep Mani is the land of the tower houses - built to defend the occupants not only from pirate invaders but also their own neighbours due to generational feuding! Combined with the harsh rocky terrain, with high mountains as far as you can see to one side and the deep blue of the sea to the other, and you will see why deep Mani is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, distinctive and atmospheric regions in all Greece. Just 8 kms to the south of Areopolis, the regional centre, is the Mani's greatest attraction. No one should visit the region without exploring the vast underground lakes and caves found at Pirgos Diros. Crammed with stalactites and stalagmites, the caves are said to be 400 million years old and amongst the finest in Europe. You are guided through them by poled boat.
