Mani Villages - Day 7Kastania and Limeni
A walk around the streets of quaint Kastania is truly an enchanting experience! We explored the Dourakis Tower, a traditional tower-house of Mani. The tower is connected with the legendary hero of the Greek Revolution, Theodoros Kolokotronis, who took refuge there in 1806. |
The Beautiful Church of St. Peter's interior
St. John the Baptist church (Agios Ioannis)
This tiny church is situated on the approach to the village.
No more than 4-6 people can enter at one time.
Fascinating to see the frescoes painted on the walls in such a tiny church.

Klimataria Taverna
This was a delightful, restful courtyard for a morning snack!
We were treated to traditional Greek brewed coffee (let those grounds settle!),
cake and canned peaches.
