The Beaches of Mani
Untamed beauty and crystal waters
Mani is Greece beyond stereotypes: Tower houses, wild coastlines, and living history
Mani’s coastline is wild and unspoiled, with “lalouda” – the thick white pebbles – intensifying the emerald waters. Sandy beaches are less but striking against the rugged landscape. From organized shores to hidden coves, the region offers diverse choices.
