The
Mani Country covers the
remote, rugged, wild south of the middle
peninsula of the Greek Peloponnese
and is divided into the Messinian Mani and the Lakonian Mani. It’s a fascinating place to visit, for in early times, the
populace built rather bizarre stone tower houses, grouped together in protective towns, overshadowed by awesome, rather
bleak stony mountains. My pictures show the towns of Areopoli, Gerolimenas, Vathia, Porto Kagio, Limeni, Itilo - all
from the Lakonian Mani, and Stoupa and Kardamyli from the Messinian Mani.
