Gythio is a seaside town situated on the south side of the Peloponnese. The town is the capital of Mani, which is an area known for having a stark, mountainous terrain. Visitors come to the town for sightseeing opportunities in the area as well as easy access to several very enjoyable beaches, the most famous of which is Mavrovouni. However, Selinitsa and Ageranos are both quite nice as well and somewhat less busy. If you hire a car, you can easily reach several interesting sites from Gythio, such as the town of Areopolois, the village of Gerolimenas, and the Caves of Diros. Map
