Limeni
Λιμένι
A stone-house fishing village beside an emerald cove, with the Mavromichalis family towers standing at the water's edge and seafood restaurants where you can eat fish and watch the sunset.
Limeni lies about 3 km below the hills north of Areopoli and is the most photogenic bay in Mani. Emerald, clear water is enclosed by rocky shores, and stone houses and the old Mavromichalis family towers stand right at the water's edge. The village has no sandy beach, so people swim and dive from rocks and small jetties. Several seafood restaurants extend their terraces to the water, and eating grilled fish while watching the sunset is a classic experience. On the road from Areopoli towards Kalamata there is a viewpoint bend where you can photograph the whole bay from above. Parking is tight in summer, so arrive early or walk down from Areopoli, which takes about 30 minutes.
