Mani

Every rock and stream is a myth.
- Patrick Leigh Fermor, Mani

The people of Mani claim to be the descendants of Ancient Spartans, and there's nothing to prove they're not. Throughout the centuries, Mani has played a significant role in the history of Greece. With exciting myths and legends surrounding the region, enhanced by the area's rugged, barren, and seemingly hostile landscape, Mani is a fascinating place to explore, an authentic destination that only became accessible to travelers in the last few decades.

If the Peloponnese Peninsula is Greece in miniature, Mani is the Peloponnese in miniature in its turn. The great variety of landscapes and activities Mani offers is what makes it appealing to all types of travelers. From exploring lost-in-time villages dotted with dramatic towers to swimming in crystal clear waters to learning recent Greek history by stepping on the land that gave birth to some of the country's most prominent historical figures, Mani is waiting to sweep you off of your feet with its magic.
