Gerolimenas
Γερολιμένας
A cliffside harbour on the Deep Mani coast, with a hotel in a converted 19th-century stone warehouse and seaside tavernas, making it the best rest stop on the way south.
Gerolimenas is a natural sheltered harbour on the coast of Deep Mani, backed by the steep cliffs of Kavo Grosso. In the late 19th century it was a busy trading port, and its stone warehouses have since been converted into a well-known boutique hotel and restaurant. The small bay is good for swimming, and several fish tavernas line the shore. It is a good place for lunch or an overnight stop on the way to Vathia and Cape Matapan. The nearby Kavo Grosso plateau has small Byzantine chapels and tower villages and is good for hiking. The town has a petrol station and a small supermarket, one of the last supply points in Deep Mani.
