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.
Stone Villa is in an idyllic location being within easy walking distance of the beach yet secluded enough to let its guest relax and enjoy the scenery away from the hustle of the touristic places. It is furnished to a high standard and has the added advantage of a large swimming pool.
