Methoni Messinia, one of the most historic and atmospheric castle towns in Greece, is a beautiful seaside town on the southwestern tip of the Peloponnese that captivates the visitor with its medieval aura and strategic geography. Today, the landmark and absolute symbol of the area is the imposing Castle of Methoni, one of the largest and best preserved fortifications in the Mediterranean, which ends at the emblematic Bourtzi, the octagonal sea tower that seems to emerge from the waves of the Ionian Sea. In addition to its rich historical past as the “eyes of Venice” in the East, Methoni offers a beautiful, organized beach with golden sand and shallow, crystal clear waters, picturesque cobblestone streets with traditional stone houses and excellent seaside taverns, constituting a top, romantic destination that perfectly combines history, relaxation and easy access to neighboring Finikounda and Pylos.
