The Methana peninsula is the perfect combination of mountain and sea.

Climbing the volcanic mountains, whether by car or through the trails, the sea is almost always visible, present. Beautiful villages, archaeological monuments, Byzantine churches, and the Volcano, compose a landscape of incomparable natural beauty.

In Methana you will not find night clubs, discos, and expensive restaurants.

You won’t find noisy beach bars with loud music.

Methana is a pure and quiet place that offers the visitor peace, relaxation and contact with nature. It is a place that lends itself to meditation and introspection. The food you will find here is almost homemade, with fresh, local ingredients and fish by the local fishermen.

In Methana one can discover the essence and simplicity that have disappeared from modern everyday life.
