Holiday Lettings in Messinia, Greece | Villas(1 result)
The southwestern corner of the Peloponnese has many attractions, from the peninsula's loveliest beaches to impressive castles and even underwater parks for divers.
Messinia's boundaries were established in 371 BC following the defeat of Sparta by the Thebans at the Battle of Leuctra. The defeat ended almost 350 years of Spartan domination of the Peloponnese - during which time Messinian exiles founded the city of Messina in Sicily - and meant the Messinians were left free to develop their kingdom in the region stretching west from the Taygetos Mountains. Their capital was Ancient Messini, about 25km northwest of Kalamata on the slopes of Mt Ithomi.
Elea Villa, located in the middle of an olive grove, is in an idyllic location being close to the beach yet private and away from the hustle of the popular areas of Mani. It has stunning views to both sea and mountain and has the added advantage of a swimming pool.
