Our first stop at turquoise waters just before the small fishing village of Kitries. Kitries, a picturesque fishing village in Messinia, Greece, embodies the quintessential charm of a traditional Greek coastal hamlet. Nestled along the azure waters of the Messenian Gulf, Kitries is a postcard-perfect destination with colorful fishing boats bobbing gently in the harbor. Here we are having our first anchorage stop. You can't resist taking a dip in the sea!

Kardamyli

We are having a closeby coastal cruise at Kardamyli village and we cross through the Meropi island channel. A few words about Kardamyli: nestled on the scenic Mani Peninsula in Messinia, is a captivating village that harmoniously blends history, natural beauty, and cultural charm. Characterized by stone-built houses, adorned with vibrant bougainvillea, the village exudes a traditional ambiance. Its focal point is the old town with cobblestone streets, offering glimpses into the region's rich past. The imposing towers, including the renowned Mourtzinos Tower, stand as silent witnesses to centuries of history. Kardamyli's location against the backdrop of the Taygetos Mountains and overlooking the deep blue waters of the Messenian Gulf creates a stunning setting. Beyond its historical allure, Kardamyli is a haven for nature enthusiasts and hikers. The nearby Viros Gorge and the coastal path to Agia Sofia showcase the region's diverse landscapes, from lush greenery to panoramic sea views.
