An hour by road south of Stoupa lies the Deep Mani. Its location on the fringes of southern Europe, its turbulent history and its rugged, natural beauty all combine to give the visitor an unforgettable experience. The historic town of Areopolis marks the beginning of the area. This bustling town, with her impressive main square and cobbled lanes in the old town, soon gives way to “the Land of Evil Council”! A place of crumbling tower houses once inhabited by clans of noble blood, of Byzantine churches, of barren hillsides, all leading to the final tip of the Mani, Cape Tainaron and the entrance to Hades!
