For Koroni, turn right not left out of Kalamata Airport and continue south, following signs for Koroni. Till you get to Rizomilos, then follow signs for Pylos for best road. Past Pylos, follow signs Koroni again. You pass Methoni. Worth a visit. See my Greece Map page

KORONI - MESSINIA - SW PELOPONNESE - southmost mainland GREECE

Koroni is a beautiful fishing village in Messinia, with amazing beaches and narrow alleys of stone steps and is built amphitheatrically overlooking the small bay overlooked by a great Venetian castle. Methoni also has Castle.

Down at the harbourfront, cafes, ice cream parlours, taverns and restaurants offer traditional food and delicacies, while locals and visitors enjoy a stroll around the small harbour, a safe marina for fishing boats and yachts. The shoþs and eating establishments sþeak English.

The village houses are painted with three colors (mostly white, yellow and blue) and azure or red windows. A very "cheerful" pathway (with lime wash white stone walls atopped with flowerpots holding flowers of many colors) leads from the small main church square to the castle. Ask me, Anastasia where this path is and any other details about Koroni and the region.

Well away from frenetic Athens. An agricultural region. Quiet roads. Authentic villages. Supermarkets with English food / essentials as well as Greek. Local farm stalls on road between Rizomylos and Kalamata (road up from Koroni to Kalamata). Dentists/Doctors Koroni. Main hospital Kalamata. Wide main road.
