East Mani
(Lakoniki Mani)

The more you visit Mani, the more you want to go back, and the more you go back, the more new things you discover. Its rich history dates back to Homeric times and includes an important contribution to the Greek liberation struggle, with Mani always unsubdued, free, and unique. It is difficult to characterize Mani as just a tourist destination, rather, it makes more sense to become acquainted with everything that distinguishes the region during your visit there: the inhabitants, the landscape, the tower houses and megalithic buildings, the monasteries and Byzantine churches, the archaeological sites, the castles and historic sites, the caves, the natural beauty, and of course the sea and the beaches. We hope Exploring Greece will help you get to know all of these better.
