Holidays in The Mani

Immersing yourself in unchanged Greece are what holidays in the Mani are all about. The central finger of the Peloponnese, this secretive region has an isolated air that gives it an unmistakably faraway feel.

And Thomson have a full range of getaways to get you here, from last-minute escapes to bargain summer holidays that'll introduce you to all the Mani's fascinating secrets.

If you love wallowing in outstanding scenery, there's no doubt about it - holidays in the Mani will be heaven. Here, you'll find stark mountains, frescoed churches, slumbering villages and, testifying to its turbulent past of warring clans, medieval stone towers perched on hills and cliffs. Walkers will also appreciate the multitude of hiking trails. Weaving through the Mani's scenic highpoints – the awesome Vyros Gorge and Taygetos mountains – they're a holiday must-do for outdoor types.

Want something more relaxed? Then holidays in the Mani have loads of laid-back diversions. The region is home to the popular village of Kardamyli, once the harbour for Sparta and now perfect for couples' holidays enjoying waterside tavernas and pebble beaches. Further south, the seaside villages of Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos demand visits. Whilst inland, gorge-perched Exohorio and the fascinating ruins of Sparta make memorable trips. And last but not least, Mani holidays wouldn't be complete without marvelling at the magical, river-filled caves of nearby Diros.
