Koroni is a beautiful seaside beach resort town in the south western Peloponnese, Greece.
Located about 1 hour from Kalamata, and 3.5 hours from Athens, is is a fantastic little picturesque seaside resort town, perched between 2 beaches, including the well known Zaga Beach.

Koroni is popular with domestic Greek tourists, and in July and August is full with visitors, though throughout the year is popular with both Greek and Foreign Tourists alike.
It is dominated by a Byzantine Castle, perched on the headland, overlooking the town which wraps around a beautiful bay and harbour. The colour of the water has to be seen to be believed.
Well located for day trips to Finikounta and Methoni, Koroni should be on the list of anyone travelling in and exploring the Peloponnese.
Koroni is an opportunity to feel like you are in the Greek Islands, without having to leave the mainland.

Magnificent views! And again a piece of live history combined with nowadays. I immensely like the modern buildings built over the ancient walls. I noticed one in your video. Thank you for the story!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! it is a good place, but the whole of that area from Kalamata up to Costa Navarino is well worth visiting.

I am glad you enjoyed it, I love the Peloponnese down there too, so beautiful, I feel a responsibility to get it right and represent it properly, so many people have memories and associations there.

Great video Andrew! I'm a Greek living in the UK and thanks for bringing Koroni on my radar which I have yet to visit...Also thanks for all the historical information you provided. It does look like a very intresting place with both beautiful architecture and natural beauty too. It's also good to see that Koroni does not suffer from the typical graffiti issues as much as other cities do and which in my opinion is one of the things that usually brings Greek cities and towns down...

Thank you, I am very glad you enjoyed. It is a lovely little place. I do have other videos coming because I continued round the coast, though once you are north of Pylos / Costa Navarino the resorts are not as developed, though the beaches remain fantastic. I agree re. Graffiti, Patras in particular suffers from that, but I am told the council is cleaning it up so may revisit when I ca.

Incredibly picturesque and interesting as always, made more so by the personal connection with the town. Lucky person to have been able to enjoy such a lovely place in their youth. And what a wonderful site for a club, despite the danger of falling off the dance floor! Must have been quite a night of revelry :-)

Enjoying your videos of the peloponnese! We're British and considering moving to Greece but we're planning to home school our little girl. Do you know if it's possible for a British citizen to home educate there? Thank you 😊

@GreeceExplored Жыл бұрын

I actually know people who do this. I think it is possible, but is very challenging for the children involved as they become isolated from Greek children of a similar age due to limited language and social exposure. as kids get older this is a problem. It is possible though, yes, but do think about the likely impact on the kids, and their social circle and social skills.

@0jellybeanie0 Жыл бұрын

@@GreeceExplored Thank you so much for your response, it's a very good point and something to definitely consider. How do the people you know do it? Do they have to spend some time living elsewhere? I know it's not allowed if you're Greek.

@@0jellybeanie0 I don't know to be honest. Many children in Greece never go to school, especially amongst the Roma population. They are basically digital nomads with a couple of kids, who spend most of the year in Greece.
