Discover the Mani Peninsula

A world in itself, Mani is a land of untamed beauty and deep history stretching across Laconia and Messinia in the southern Peloponnese. The first spark of the Greek War of Independence was lit, here, in Areopoli and its fierce spirit lingers in its stone-built war towers, family strongholds and fortified villages, a hallmark of Maniot architecture.

The landscape is just as bold as it is diverse: sheer cliffs, lush gorges, hidden coves with sparkling waters and golden sand beaches, centuries-old olive groves, alpine mountain forests, subterranean lake caves and the towering Taygetus range stretching across the time between the Messinian and Laconian Gulfs.

Early Christian and Byzantine chapels stand alongside megalithic structures and serene coastal villages meet rugged mountain strongholds, all while the land transforms with the seasons, revealing a new character in every shift.
