The Messinia region, located at the southern tip of mainland Greece and the Peloponnese peninsula, is rich in cultural heritage, history, and stunning nature. There is something here for everybody. Experience the grandeur of ancient Greece by sitting on the royal marble bench at the stadium of Ancient Messene and imagine devising defense plans to repel another Spartan attack. From a later period, sea fortresses can be found along the coast. For beach lovers, there are numerous exquisite beaches, crowned by the Voidokilia lagoon, featured in every glossy pictorial book introducing Greece. Nature enthusiasts can hike through the mountain river valley to the Polylimnio waterfalls or visit the magnificent Diros caves on the Mani peninsula. Food lovers must visit the Kalamata farmers’ market to enjoy unforgettable flavors in authentic tavernas. Nightlife seekers will find their adventures in the bars and clubs along the Kalamata beach promenade. Messinia is truly worth exploring!
