Below you’ll find a selection of interesting sights in the area. To visit these places, we recommend renting a car.


Gialova Lagoon: A nature reserve where rare bird species and the African chameleon can be found. Great for walks and birdwatching.


Methoni Castle: An impressive medieval castle, almost entirely surrounded by the sea and accessible via a stone bridge. Just a short drive from Finikounda.


Koroni: A picturesque town near Finikounda with a beautiful castle, charming narrow streets, and a small harbour.


Old Navarino Castle & Nestor’s Cave: Perfect for a short hike with panoramic views over the coastline, located near Voidokilia.


Polilimnio Waterfalls: About a 30–40 minute drive away, you’ll find one of the most beautiful natural areas in Messinia: the Polilimnio gorge, featuring multiple lakes, turquoise pools, and waterfalls. A lovely spot for a scenic walk past small lakes and natural swimming pools.
