The Mani Peninsula, Greece is amazing to explore. It is rugged, with awe inspiring coastline and Ancient Villages.

Areopoli and Gytheio are two of the larger towns on the edge of 'Deep Mani' on the Peninsula, 90 minutes South of Kalamata and about 4 hours drive from Athens. They are perfect as a comfortable base for exploring the deep Mani Peninsula.

Both offer contrasting options. Areopoli is an old, quaint and picturesque fortified town about 10 km from the Diros Caves on the western coast. Gytheio is a seaside port town and fishing village on the East coast, offering picturesque views over the sea.

Either-way, both offer the traveller a gateway to Mani, where you can explore the Gates of Hades, The most southerly point of Mainland Continental Europe, the Diros caves, The abandoned village of Vatheia, the Temple of Poseidon, or the Oracle of Death (Hypnos).

Ideally use a car to travel and explore the Mani Peninsula to see the most. Coach tours are available but will limit your opportunity and travellers should be aware, there is NO public transport on the Mani Peninsula.
