Kardamyli is so ancient that its name, intact as it is used now, is mentioned in Homer! In Book 9 of the Iliad, Agamemnon tries to entice Achilles to rejoin the Trojan War by offering him Kardamyli and six more cities in the area.
Kardamyli is not only gorgeous, but it boasts six beautiful beaches to enjoy, and several sites to see all clustered together in its region!
Stoupa is located between two gorgeous sandy beaches with clear, shallow, warm blue waters that are amazingly transparent.
Just for these, tourists seek out Stoupa, but there is a lot more to experience there: from small rivers and caves to explore, to the fortress (Kastro) built on the ruins of the ancient Acropolis of Stoupa (then called Leuktra and described to us by Pausanias).
Areopoli is the capital city of the Laconic Mani. With its paved streets and stunning towers, Areopoli is a historical town, and the moment you set foot it in, you will feel it.
