Morning Stop: Ancient Messina

Start early in the morning heading to Ancient Messina, one of the most impressive and well-preserved archaeological sites in Greece. Walk through the ancient theater, stadium and agora, in a setting that remains unchanged over time and is surrounded by a lush natural environment.

Noon and Afternoon: The Magic of Mani

After the historical tour, drive south to Messinian Mani. Kardamyli awaits you with its stone mansions and hidden coves. Enjoy a meal with local flavors by the sea and end your day with a swim in the crystal clear waters of Foneas beach.

Why the Car is the Best Companion
