STONE TOWN · MANI

Areopoli

A stone-built Mani town that fits naturally into the same trip as Limeni.

The place

Why it is worth the stop

Areopoli offers a change of pace from the nearby coast. Its stone-built centre makes it an easy place to wander before dinner or between other Mani stops.

It pairs particularly well with Limeni, giving one itinerary both a waterside village and a characterful inland town.

My visit

A personal note

Areopoli comes alive in the evening, when its stone lanes, tavernas and bougainvillea-filled courtyards glow under warm lights.
