In the middle of the three legs, in the southern part of the Peloponnese, stands the peninsula where mt. Taygetos smoothly fades into the sea. Taygetos, is the highest mountain of Peloponnese, with an altitude of 2,407 m. This is the Mani, a place barren and arid, with tough and rugged landscape, medieval villages with unique architecture, beautiful traditional towers and people proud and irritable, with uncompromising character and great respect to family honor.
Limeni is a village on the Mani Peninsula, Greece. Limeni is situated on Limeni Bay which is a mile or two north of Areopoli, the capital of the Deep Mani, and is considered to be the most beautiful of all Mani's villages.
Limeni was the home town of the most important clan in Mani, the Mavromichalis, that played an important role in the greek liberation struggle of 1821 against the Ottomans. The Mavromichalis castle has been restored by the local council to what it looked like 200 years ago, and is now used as a museum.
Limeni, which is almost entirely built from stone and wood, attracts a lot of tourists during the summer months and it's also one of the local's favourite destination.
