Koroni

This little Peloponnese town on the Gulf of Messinia, Koroni is known for its Venetian castle rising above the waterfront, the olive oil variety Koroneiki, and a café and restaurant scene that exceeds what its size would suggest. Several historic churches dot the town, including the pilgrimage site of Panagia Eleistria. The surrounding area offers scenic viewpoints, and the town sits within reach of beaches and mountain terrain in the wider Messenia region.
