METHONI

WANDER THOUGH THE WETHERED RUINS

Methoni was one of the seven cities offered to Achilles by Agamemnon. Homer described it as ‘rich in vines’. Today it’s a pretty seaside town with a popular beach, next to which looms the most impressive example of a 13th-century Venetian fortress in the Peloponnese. You can easily spend a couple of hours wandering through the weathered ruins trying to imagine the way of life all those centuries ago.

You’ll be amazed by 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.
