Hello travelers! My name is Anastasios #Grecos and you are watching #Tourismos Travel Guru channel.
Do you like the video? You can buy me a coffee, #like the #video, subscribe and #share with your friends enchanting #destinations and fascinating #stories.
We start from #Gerolimenas, a small coastal #village that will steal your heart. It has only 100 permanent residents and lies 300 km south of #Athens, 84 km from Sparta and 25 km from #Areopoli, the capital of #Mani.
It’s name derives from the ancient #Greek Hieros Limen, meaning "Sacred Harbor”. This part of #Laconia used to be quite remote until the 1970’s and was reached mainly by boat. In the past it was a major fishing center, and featured substantial #infrastructure such as a #shipyard, ice supplies, and a fish market. Today the main industry is #tourism.
The #visitor of Gerolimenas receives high quality travel #experience and services here. The combination of unspoiled nature, absence of massive tourism infrastructure and big #hotel complexes, the authenticity of the #landscape, the kindness of the locals and the supreme taste and quality of the locally produced diary, meat, fish and vegetables, is the guarantee for a magical summer #vacation.
The houses, narrow streets, the habits and traditions are the same as they used to be more than two thousand years ago.
At Gerolimenas #beach the bright white pebbles are shinning underneath the emerald waters. Swimming in this exotic setting confirms that you are in the #Caribbean of Europe!
#Mezapos. A village and beach that you will remember for a long time.
South of Gerolimenas we meet #Gyalia beach and the settlement of #Alika. The typical Mani towers stand out, surrounded by #olive groves, from which the famous Mani olive oil is being produced!
#Almyros beach, #Kyparissos, #Sarolimeni and #Exo Kapi are the small beaches created at the coastline coves.
And finally #Vatheia, the #legendary #settlement of Mani with the famous #tower houses. Explore this historical place and stroll around the alleys, admiring the architecture and the endless views. This wild scenery symbolizes the free spirit of the locals, against any conqueror. #The Maniots are brave enough to live in pure harmony with their natural environment and preserve their ancient #culture.
#Sisyphus rock is a stunning natural monument.
Porto #Kagio is a seaside village in the East Mani, facing a small bay off the #Laconian Gulf. Listen to the wind: It will share with you stories that took place here, about #venetian merchants, #Sultans, #pirates and British soldiers of the WW II.
Here you will love the swimming experience and then a #culinary #magical #ceremony at the local #taverns.
#Marmari is a hidden #paradise in Laconian Mani. An exotic organized beach and interesting accommodation options are making this place a popular destination.
Greek #legends claimed that there is a cave that was the home of #Hades near #Taenarum, or cape #Matapan, the southernmost point of mainland Greece, and the second southernmost point in mainland Europe. On the hill situated above the cave, lie the remnants of an ancient #temple and deads #oracle, dedicated to the sea god #Poseidon. Naval battles, human struggle, maritime disasters or bright miracles have taken place at this amazing point.
Mani is the ideal place to #recharge your batteries.
Paradise on earth has a name and it is located in Greece.
