Messinia
Greek summer at its finest: beautiful beaches, quaint fishing villages, endless olive groves, coastal and mountain trails with glorious views. And beyond that: ancient civilizations, Mycenaean palaces and the Gialova wetland, the only one of its kind in Greece. You’ll go hiking at Paleokastro, walk around the ruins at Neokastro and at the Methoni and Koroni castles, followed by a lovely lunch or dinner at tavernas on the water, serving fresh fish and meze. Or perhaps a round of golf?
Piece by piece, you’ll put together the puzzle that is Messinia. One summer on the southwestern coastline of the Peloponnese is never enough.

Laconia
Picturesque seaside villages, rich tradition and great people with unique personality are what the charm of the region of Laconia is made of. The mythical place of the heroic Spartans is now a destination that remains still undiscovered by mass tourism. The region offers hotels in the most visited resorts of Monemvasia, Mani and the coastal villages of Gythio, Gerolimenas, Oitylo and many more. Lakonia is famous for the restaurants serving fresh fish and local products. Don’t miss, maybe the best beach in Greece, at Elafonisos!
