DAY 1. Welcome to Mani, village of Kitta
Embark on your Mani adventure as our driver greets you at the airport, ushering you into a private minibus for a scenic three-and-a-half-hour drive through Peloponnese's captivating landscapes. Your destination is the charming village of Kitta, near Gerolimenas in the Inner Mani, where you'll be captivated by the tranquillity and warm local hospitality. With the possibility of exclusivity for our group, savor the historic ambiance and explore one of the best private wine cellars in the Peloponnese. Tonight marks the beginning of a three-night stay at this enchanting retreat, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Mani.
DAY 2. Wild Mani Castle and Villages (33km)
On the first day of our captivating exploration of the Mani region, we trace a loop through its ancient heart—a former stronghold of the fiercely independent Maniots. Biking past fortified villages and distinctive "house-towers," we witness how the Maniots vehemently defended their lands against historical adversaries. Our leisurely journey, blending both inland and coastal routes, includes refreshing swim breaks along the way. To cap off the day, we indulge in a seafood dinner in the coastal gem of Gerolimenas. This experience immerses you in the picturesque charm of this fishing village, allowing you to savor the bounties of the sea.
DAY 3. Unraveling the Underworld in the Mani Peninsula (49km)
Today, on our cycling expedition through the Mani Peninsula, we explore Cape Tenaro, the second southernmost tip of mainland Europe and the legendary entrance to Hades. Cycle to the peninsula's southern tip to witness the captivating remnants of deserted Roman Villa mosaics before heading back. Enjoy lunch and a swim in Porto Kagio, a traditional fishing port, and we visit Vathia, the region's best-preserved abandoned castle village. Conclude the day in Kitta for our last evening in southern Mani, seamlessly blending mythology with the scenic beauty of this historical landscape.
DAY 4. Areopolis, Limeni & Northern Mani (24km + 41km optional)
Our cycling journey carries us from the Inner to the Outer Mani, commencing our ride from Kitta on e-bikes and pedaling northward toward Areopolis, the capital of Mani, named after the God of War, Ares. After a period of exploration and a delightful seaside lunch in the charming village of Limeni, our journey unfolds further north. We're presented with two options: a scenic water route via a speed boat, completing the journey to Kardamyli in 1.5 hours and offering opportunities for a refreshing swim, or for those seeking a more challenging route, the option to continue cycling northward, passing and exploring the mountainous villages of central Mani. Our ultimate destination is the vibrant village of Kardamyli, where Liodentra awaits as our home for the next three nights. Nestled on the edge of beautiful Kardamyli, just behind the town's pebble beach, it sets the stage for upcoming adventures in the colorful landscapes of the Northern Mani region.
DAY 5. Kastania Village (37km)
Commencing our day with a visit to Old Kardamyli Castle, we then traverse a coastal road to explore the ancient monk's religious pathways leading us to the secluded hillside village of Kastania. Lunch unfolds in the village's sole taverna, embracing the old authentic Mani way, skillfully prepared by Grandma "Yiayia" Georgia. A highlight of the day is our visit to the most iconic church among the 11 in the area. Departing the 12th-century Anno Domini (aka A.D.) Byzantine village, our return journey to Kardamyli unfolds as a remarkable cycling experience, offering epic views of Kalamata City Bay.
