Porto Kagio
Πόρτο Κάγιο
A quiet horseshoe-shaped bay near Cape Matapan, with a few small tavernas by the water; good for swimming and fish, and an oasis at the tip of the peninsula.
Porto Kagio lies on the north side of Cape Matapan. It is a horseshoe-shaped deep bay surrounded by barren hills, with clear, calm water where sailing boats often moor. The bay has only one small village and a few fish tavernas and guesthouses, so it is very quiet, and it is an ideal place for lunch and a swim before or after hiking Cape Matapan. On the hillside are the remains of a Venetian-era castle. The nearby village of Marmari has two adjacent sandy beaches. The mountain roads are narrow and steep, so drive with care.
