Hotels in Messenia, Greece
Messenia is a region in the southwestern Peloponnese of Greece, with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers averaging 86°F (30°C) and mild, rainy winters around 55°F (13°C). It's famous for the extensive ruins of Ancient Messene, a 4th-century BC city with a stadium and agora, and for the rugged Mani Peninsula, where stone towers and remote beaches like Voidokilia contrast with the olive groves around Kalamata. In summer, you can swim at clear-water beaches or explore the archaeological site without rain, while winter's mild weather is perfect for hiking the Mani's coves and scoring cheap, quiet hotel deals.
