Our addresses in the Peloponnese
It was in this peninsula in southern Greece that we discovered another side of the country: wilder, more secret. The Peloponnese is a land of olive trees, warm stone, and crystal-clear sea, where nature rubs shoulders with history.
Between medieval villages, small coves, mountains and taverns in the shade of fig trees, everything here is an invitation to admire and savor.
Nafplio
Ancient Greek capital, a little gem by the water. Lose yourself in its cobbled streets, between flower-lined balconies, quiet squares, and secret staircases. The climb to the Palamidi fortress offers a spectacular view.
Monemvasia
Connected to the mainland by a thin strip of land, this medieval city hidden behind a cliff is a world apart.
Limeni
A small stone village by the water, typical of Mani. A walk along the bay, between Maniot houses and terraces overlooking the sea. A quiet, simple place with a real atmosphere.
Voidokilia
Omega-shaped beach on the west coast of Messinia. A protected lagoon with turquoise waters, accessible on foot through dunes, a stone's throw from the medieval castle and Nestor's Cave .
Vathi Beach
Elafonisos
Foneas Beach
Viros Gorge (Kardamyli)
A path that climbs between the sea and the mountains. A few discreet monasteries in the heights and free-roaming goats.
Diros Caves (Magne)
Ancient Messene
Palamidi Fortress
999 steps to climb (or road), with a spectacular view of the old town and the sea. One of the most beautiful panoramas in the Peloponnese.
Tainaron Blue Retreat (Magne)
Just three rooms, housed in a former watchtower facing the sea. The breathtaking view blends with a minimalist atmosphere.
Bastione Malvasia Hotel (Monemvasia)
In the heart of the medieval city, a stone hotel with a rugged charm. Some rooms overlook the sea, others the village streets. A simple, authentic, and peaceful setting.
Pirgos Mavromichali
Kourmas (Limeni)
Tavern located on the seafront, with a terrace right on the water. Fresh fish is on the menu, as are typical fresh salads, all with a clear view of the bay.
O Takis (Limeni)
A family institution established for years, known for its seafood platters and local fishing.
Notiás (Kalamata)
Kardamo (Kalamata)
Just a stone's throw from the center, a warm and slightly secluded place, known for its homemade Greek cuisine with a contemporary touch.
