About This Route

A rugged, mystical journey through the middle finger of the Peloponnese. The Mani is famous for its tower-houses, dry stone landscapes, and deep blue coves. Start in Gytheio, drive south to Cape Matapan (the end of mainland Europe), and return through the coastal villages of Gerolimenas and Areopoli. The roads are winding and sometimes narrow, but offer some of the most dramatic coastal views in Greece.
