The Mani peninsula in Greece is a treasure trove of natural beauty, historical significance, and cultural events that are sure to leave visitors mesmerised. One of the most stunning places to visit in Mani is the charming town of Kardamyli, situated on the southern part of Peloponnese. The town is a perfect example of the unique Peloponnesian scenery that combines seaside beauty with mountainous majesty.
Walking through the cobblestone streets of Kardamyli, one cannot miss the Old & Upper Town, a fortified settlement of well-preserved tower-houses that are some of the finest examples of Maniot architecture. Additionally, another must-visit in the area is the Patrick Leigh Fermor’s house (1.5km), the well-known travel writer. You will be able to see one of the most beautiful houses, built in local architecture and as himself said: “Passing-by you observe Mani in 3 days, walking in 3 months and in order to see its soul you need 3 lives. One for the sea, one for the mountains and one for its people.”

Beyond Kardamyli, Mani has much more to offer. The caves of Diros, located 45 km away, are a natural wonder featuring stalactites and stalagmites that create an eerie but stunning atmosphere. The charming town of Areopoli, situated 35 km away, is another must-visit destination. The traditional paths and idyllic beauty of Mani can be explored here, and travelers can enjoy the unique coastal views of Limeni, the small port of Areopoli.
Further down the road, Vatheia, located 70 km away, is a traditional settlement of stone-built towers on top of a hill offering breathtaking views. On the way to Vatheia, travelers can stop at Gerolimenas, a picturesque fishing village with a traditional atmosphere.
At the southern edge of the Balkan peninsula lies Cape Tenaro, a place steeped in history and mythology. It is said to be the gate to the Underworld, and a visit here promises a unique experience.
Mani is also home to several cultural events and activities. The International Jazz Festival, held in Kardamyli every year, is a fantastic event that features free concerts in different locations, including beaches, squares, restaurants, and bars. The Mani Music Festival is another event worth attending, featuring classical musicians from Vienna. Additionally, the New Mani Theater hosts several musical and theatrical shows throughout the summer.
For those seeking adventure, Mani has a lot to offer, including kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking. Travelers can explore the traditional settlements with their stone-built towers and byzantine churches.
In conclusion, Mani is a unique destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural events, and adventure. Kardamyli, with its seaside and mountainous scenery, is a perfect place to start exploring the region. From there, visitors can immerse themselves in the history, mythology, and culture of the area, and participate in various activities that will create memories to last a lifetime.
