The Peloponnese region
Peloponnese (the south edge of mainland Greece) is the geographical department that displays a large number of historical sights, a rich partition of coasts, a hinterland with beautiful nature, villages with a remarkable arcitecture, developed cities and a high touristic infrastructure.
It boasts the largest and most spectacular concentration of ancient sites, including Mycenae, Epidavros, ancient Messini and Olympia, where the Olympic games were founded. Less known but equally fascinating are the many Byzantine (medieval) cities, churches and fortresses, including the hilltown of Mystras and the sea-rock of Monemvasia. The rugged Mani peninsula, central of the three ‘fingers’, positively bristles with towers and frescoed chapels. Or, if you fancy something more civilised, check out the elegant seaside town of Nafplion, with its narrow alleys, tiled houses, castles and festivals.
Those who prefer natural wonders to man-made will not be disappointed. The southerly mountain range of Taygetos offers breathtaking gorges, spring flowers and well-maintained mulepaths to link them. Some of Greece’s finest beaches can be found on the westren finger around Pilos, or along the endless pine-shaded strand that forms the west coast.
If someone is looking to visit just one part of Greece with a bit of everything, Peloponnese is certainly the place.
Kalamata / Verga Beach area
Day trips can easily be arranged to many historical sites - Olympia, Mystras & Monemvasia to name but three. In Kardamili , 25 km (mentioned in Homer's The Iliad) there are numerous tavernas and good tourist shops as well as the site of Ancient Kardimili with a fascinating little museum. This a popoular area with walkers on waymarked paths all over the Taygetos mountains. You can also explore (by boat) the famous Diros caves, about 90 minutes driving.
Kalamata (7 km) is a lively, typical mediterranean city. The old town in the north is picturesque, full of cafes, farmer's restaurants and shops selling local products. The centre of the city has prestigious cafes and all kinds of modern shops. The sea front is 2.5 km long pebble beach full of cafes, bars, pizzerias, and night clubs. Walking on the sea front is a pleasure during the evenings. The town has many major super markets with all kind of products.

Guestbook for Villa Lena
My friend and I were very pleased with the accommodation and cleanliness of the place. Our owners had some basic necessities for us in the fridge upon arrival which we thought was a very nice touch and the market just across the street had all the rest we needed to enjoy our stay. The villa is decorated tastefully and is very comfortable. We do not hesitate to highly recommend this rental. Lena and Panos were very welcoming and available to help us had we needed it. We had a fantastic stay and the last sunset left us wanting more but we unfortunately had to leave… Julie & Martine (Montreal, Quebec, Canada), August 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for our week-long stay in your beautiful villa near Kalamata. We loved the house, the sea views were fabulous (watching the dolphins feeding in Kalamata Bay one morning was a real treat), and the garden was a real oasis. We'll remember our morning coffees, our kids collecting rocks from the nearby beach, and sipping wine as we watched the sunsets. Simply great! Thanks as well for being a kind and generous host, and for welcoming us as friends - we hope to return again. Bruce and Alex Kemerer (Montreal, CA), June 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The house with its magnificent view, nice garden and well designed interior was a pleasant surprise to us. We enjoyed our stay very much! For us, the culture as much as the breathtaking surrounding nature were more than we had expected to see. The trip, for instance, to Mystras and Sparta in itself was worth the stay. Definitely, we will return to Peloponnese once again and find our way into Kalamata, hopefully being able to return to this pleasant home as well. Friso, Monique, Laura, Sophie (NL), May 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful house. We have enjoyed the stay so much. Time to relax, time to swim and wonderful trips to Olynpia, Mystras, Mani and the caves in Diros. And the nature.....! The olives, all the trees, the flowers...... so beautiful and so different from our country. We hope to be back sometime. Nikolaj, Laila and children (DK), July 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our stay was simply heaven .. our home away from home! The villa and gardens are in excellent condition. It provided us a perfect setting to enjoy good food, lots of laughs, and great conversations around the "sunset" table ... and what lovely sunsets! We also enjoyed taking in the sights of the surrounding area including Kalamata, Stoupa and Diro Caves (which is a must see, however plan on a full day tour). We certainly look foward to returning to your lovely villa on our next visit to Greece! Kathy, Dennis and Nick! (Toronto,CA), September 2008
