There are many sandy beaches in the area, some have beach bars and sun loungers and most are very quiet, during the summer the rare loggerhead turtles nest on many local beaches. There are many ancient sites to visit in the area, Ancient Messini is not far and is a wonderful Ancient Roman and Greek site. Olympia is only a couple of hours away, as is Mistras. There are also fantastic castles to visit at Methoni, Koroni and Pylos. Five minutes drive will take you to Petalidi, a charming unspoilt fishing village where you will find shops, bars, tavernas, chemists, doctors, an internet cafe, a fish market and general market. Koroni is 20 minutes drive and is beautifully situated on a natural harbour facing the evening sun. A very pretty old town that scrambles up the hill to the old castle and nunnery where the views of Koroni and Zaga beach on the other side are breathtaking. If you prefer the city life then 40 minutes will take you to Kalamata with its port, beach, marina and shops.
