5Mani Peninsula: Wild Beauty and Tower Houses
In the southern Peloponnese, the Mani Peninsula is a rugged and untamed region that captivates with its wild beauty and unique architecture. The landscape is dotted with stone tower houses, built by the Maniots as both residences and defensive structures. Explore the narrow alleys of Limeni, a picturesque seaside village, and witness the stark contrast between the stone architecture and the deep blue waters.
For nature lovers, the Diros Caves, an underground wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites, offer a mesmerizing experience. The Mani Peninsula’s raw and unspoiled charm makes it a hidden gem for those seeking a journey off the well-trodden tourist paths.
