The Mani

The area of the southern Peloponnese known as ‘the Mani’ is a special place. Its location on the fringes of southern Europe, its turbulent history and its rugged, natural beauty all combine to give the visitor an unforgettable experience. The drive from Kalamata down into the Mani is stunning- something you will never forget.
Check out some of the various topics above to get an in depth idea of some of the area’s main characteristics as well as looking at options of where to stay, from the established resorts such as Stoupa or Kardamyli, to a more off the beaten track location in the Deep Mani.

Thank you for a fantastic magazine and now website. Both are stylishly designed and hugely interesting to anyone with even a slight interest in the area.
I look forward to the 2012 edition. I do hope there will be one?
