Limeni - pretty little town on the southern coast of the Peloponnese (Mani Peninsula, Lakonia prefecture). It is situated on the shores of the Gulf about 75 km south of Sparta and only a few kilometers from Areopolis, the port which he actually is.

Limeni - incredibly picturesque village with lovely old stone houses, towers, literally hanging over the rocky cliffs, picturesque harbor, where in the summer a lot of snow-white yachts moored, excellent restaurants and taverns with excellent cuisine. Here you will find crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, the fantastic beauty of landscapes and a genuine atmosphere of cordiality and hospitality of local residents. This is a great place for a quiet and relax. However, it is worth considering that the choice of housing is very small in Limeni and reservations need to be concerned in advance.

Limeni is the hometown of one of the most influential clans maniots - Mavromichalis, who played a key role in the formation of the modern Greek state. On the initiative of local authorities Mavromichali ancestral castle, which, in essence, is an important historical and architectural monument, was restored almost in the same form as it was 200 years ago. Today, its walls is an excellent hotel.

Local attractions are the ancient caves where people lived in the Neolithic period, and during the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the region of the so-called hidden Cleft (armed rebels who fought against Turkish oppression). Certainly worth a visit and the cradle of the Greek revolution - the famous Areopolis.

The picturesque town with its narrow cobbled streets, beautiful churches, ancient buildings and towers is very popular among tourists.
