• Koroni Castle - Located in the southeastern part of Messinia, on the first leg of the Peloponnese peninsula, lies the charming town of Koroni. This town is home to one of the finest examples of Venetian fortress architecture, with the unique feature of housing both residences and churches within its walls. The castle of Koroni majestically overlooks Akritas cape, at the southern tip of the Messinian Gulf. Originally constructed by the Venetians in the 13th century, it was later renovated by the Ottomans in the 16th century.

Enjoy a cruise around the castle in the stunning turquoise waters. Starting the day at Zaga Beach is a fantastic way to begin the adventure! Zaga Beach is a major attraction in Koroni, offering a breathtaking view of the castle. This expansive beach is covered in soft sand, and the water is clear and warm, making it irresistible for a refreshing swim!

• Venetiko - Venetiko is an uninhabited island that is part of the Messenian Oinousses cluster, located south of Akritas cape. Its name is relatively recent and may be associated with the Venetian Rule, as the Roman traveler Pausanias referred to it as Thiganousa. The island is covered in bushes and is rich with remnants from the Byzantine era, including ruins of a tower, a well, and a late Byzantine structure on the coast. This building is believed to have been used for salt production or ship signaling. The northern tip of the island features a flat area that might have been a salt-pan, indicating that early inhabitants relied on salt production.

Anchor in the serene waters of a secluded bay and enjoy the calm and gentle surroundings.

• Costa Navarino - Known for its unique heart shape, this island is part of the Messinian Oinousses complex. It is one of the most remarkable heart-shaped islands globally. Locals refer to it as “Kardia” due to its heart-like silhouette. This small rocky island is a skerry of Sapientza Island in the Messinian Gulf and is a popular subject in photo albums worldwide.

• Sapientza Isle - Situated opposite Methoni in the Peloponnese, Sapientza is considered one of the most beautiful islands in Messinia, combining lush vegetation with stunning beaches. On the island’s southern side stands a historic lighthouse, constructed entirely from stone in 1885. This lighthouse was built to aid passing ships in navigating the dangerous waters, which have seen numerous shipwrecks. The name Sapientza, meaning “wisdom” in Italian, served as a warning to captains to exercise caution. This area has been a naval passage since ancient times, connecting Italy to the Middle East, and served as an anchorage for fleets during the Byzantine era and Turkish domination.

Anchor at the bay of “kokkina,” enjoy a swim, and savor local delicacies!

• Methoni Castle - Constructed by the Venetians in the early 13th century on a rocky promontory, Methoni Castle is one of the largest in the Mediterranean. Visitors will be amazed by the 14-arch stone bridge connecting the castle to the shore, replacing the previous timber bridge. The iconic symbol of Venice, the lion of St. Marc, adorns the castle gate, surrounded by immured reliefs, emblems, blazons, inscriptions, and the massive gates, especially the main gate above the moat. Remnants of two Ottoman bathhouses have also survived.

At the southern edge of the castle, a fortified islet known as Bourtzi floats. Built in 1500, Bourtzi served as a prison and execution site during the Turkish Occupation and is connected to the Sea Gate of the castle by a small paved road.

• Foinikounta - Foinikounta is a quaint and picturesque village in the Messinia region, which has become one of the most beautiful summer vacation destinations in the South Peloponnese.

• Marathi Beach - This stunning pebble beach features chilly, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking wild beauty, with rocks to climb and explore on the sides. Ideal for those who value privacy, as it is challenging to reach by car, ensuring a peaceful experience.

• Agia Triada Beach - Also known as Lachanou, Agia Triada Beach is located east of the village with the same name, about 3.5 kilometers from Koroni. This sandy beach is uniquely beautiful and far from the crowds. It is not organized, and the northernmost part of the coast begins at a steep hill that meets the sea, providing natural shade for a few hours. The church of Agia Triada is also nearby.
