The castle of Methoni Built by the Venetians in the early 13th century on a rocky promontory, the castle is among the largest ones in the Mediterranean. You’ll be astonished at the bridge stone of 14 arches which connects the castle to the shore instead of the timber one that used to stand in its place before the Venetians ever got there. The celebrated symbol of Venice, the lion of St Marc, dominates the gate of the castle where immured reliefs, emblems, blazons, inscriptions, the huge gates –especially the main gate, above the moat – and the relics of two Ottoman bathhouses have survived. At the south edge of the castle a fortified islet floats. Bourtzi, as it is called, a prison and place of executions during the Turkish Occupation, was built in 1500 and is connected to the Sea Gate of the castle with a paved tiny road. Don’t forget to: Stroll in the scenic town of Methoni and marvel at the local well preserved architecture. Visit the built-in-the-rocks catacombs of St Onoufrios (2km N of Methoni) and the catholic monastery of St Leon. Swim at the beautiful beach by the castle, as well as at the beaches of Mavrovouni, Amenomylos, Loutsa and Akritika. Pay a visit to Sapientza Island, a significant wetland habitat nestling the kri kri wild sheep, birds etc in a protected forest with arbutus trees. A 19th century stone lighthouse and an exceptional sandy beach are no less of an attraction too.. Methoni is 21km SW of Kalamata, whereas Koroni is 52km to the same direction. Local buses will help you get there. Contact them at: www.ktelmessinias.gr

To κάστρο της Μεθώνης αποτελεί αναμφισβήτητα ένα από τα κορυφαία μνημεία για να επισκεφτείτε όχι μόνο στην περιοχή αλλά γενικότερα στη νοτιοδυτική Πελοπόννησο. Το κάστρο αλλά και η τοποθεσία του είναι από μόνα τους εντυπωσιακά, χωρίς να αναφερθώ στην ιστορικότητα του κάστρου καθεαυτού. *Θα πρότεινα αποφύγετε την επίσκεψη σε ζέστες μέρες κατά τη διάρκεια του καλοκαιριού μιας και το κάστρο δεν έχει επαρκή σκίαση. The caste of Methoni is probably one of the highlights not only of the area but probably of the south west Peloponnese. The castle it self as well as the picturesque location definetly worth some of your time. *Avoid visiting during hot days as there is not enough shade to protect yourselves.
