KARDAMYLI

Kardamyli is a peaceful little village on the Mediterranean, in the Messinian Mani. The people treat you like family and not like tourists. It was a refreshing experience at this point in our trip. Our trip was cut short by the terrible fires that have affected Greece for the past week. But while we were in Kardamyli, we had a great conversation with a local named Yanni in his olive oil - honey - wine - dried herb - soap - lotion - book shop (all homemade), we swam daily, ate our own greek salad and canned dolmas on our balcony overlooking the village center, and hiked through old Kardamyli and up the hill to their ancient church. Vula, our host treated us one lunch with peppers and tomatoes stuffed with rice, meat, onions, and oregano. Delish.

Almost all the villagers are willing to rent out one of their rooms. Plenty of great places to stay for such a small village.
