About Limeni

A cluster of beautiful terracotta-roofed houses overlooking an idyllic cove on the Mani peninsula, Limeni is breathtaking. One of the southernmost points in the Peloponnese — and in all of mainland Greece — this community of cobbled alleyways surrounded by rocky hills will delight easygoing holidaymakers of all ages. Step off the beaten track with a room at one of the best places to stay in Limeni, many of which offer striking sea views and very reasonable rates.

Soak up the sunshine at Dexameni Beach, paddling in the shallows, snorkelling or kayaking and paddle boarding. Scuba diving excursions, fishing trips and sailing adventures can be easily arranged. The Caves of Diros are a family-friendly local highlight, and can be accessed by boat. Venture inland to follow walking and cycling trails through the hills and mountains of the Mani peninsula, or for some great birdwatching.

The lively town of Areopoli, capital of the Mani region, is a short drive away and well worth visiting for its shops, heritage architecture and great food. Return to one of the best places to stay in Limeni to unwind by the pool, admire spectacular sunsets and tuck into delicious seafood suppers.
