The Venetian fortress city Koroni, on the south west point of thee Pelopónnesos peninsula is a beautiful port. Just as the rest of this Greek peninsula it’s very quiet and unspoiled.

You have a great view of the Taygetos-mountains from here, 2500 m. high. There are a few stores, a beautiful fortress and a fantastic long sandy beach. And in the evenings, it is very pleasant along the boulevard.

From Koroni you can for instance visit Methoni (with also a beautiful fort), the villages on the countryside or ride (with the car) via Kalamata to the Mani. This rough region lies at the other side of the bay, at the foot of the Taygetos mountains and is very beautiful.

We advice to combine a vacation in Koroni with a stay in Stoupa, in the northern part of the Mani. From this amusing seaside resort you can explore the whole Mani.
