Great Things to Do Near Dafne

Enjoy lunch in the square at Kardamlyi

Within a short driving distance, the picturesque village of Kardamlyi is a lovely location to visit for a spot of lunch. Small but traditional, the shaded village square is ideal for enjoying sumptuous delights. Kardamlyi is also home to a small beach; just the place to take a refreshing dip before heading further on your adventures.

Spend the evening in Stoupa

Located just a ten-minute drive from the property, the village of Stoupa is the perfect spot to spend an evening. Enjoy traditional Greek cuisine from one of the many tavernas situated along the beachfront whilst enjoying views out to sea. As the sun sets, Stoupa is the quintessential spot to enjoy a cocktail (or two) whilst watching the sun go down on another relaxing day. 

Visit the Diros Caves

Perhaps one of the most important natural sites in Greece, the Diros Caves are not to be missed. These underground waterways and lakes can be explored by boat with tours lasting around 25 minutes. Guides will inform you through the journey through the caverns and tunnels characterised by stalactites and stalagmites. 

Have a beach day at picturesque Kalogria Beach.

Beautiful Kalogria Beach with its sandy shores is a great place to spend the day relaxing. Just off the coast of Kalogria, a round ripple of water can be found. From an underground freshwater spring that is fed from the mountains, this ripple makes the waters tend to be a little cooler than those found around the corner at Stoupa Beach. A small number of tavernas back the beach; perfect for a bite to eat at lunch. 

Visit Agios Nikolaos

This charming fishing village characterised by traditional stone buildings is a lovely setting for spending lunch or dinner. A number of tavernas can be found lining the street overlooking the small harbour. Small boats can also be hired from the harbour along with fishing trips with locals being available too. 

Discover Ancient Sparta

Although a small site, Ancient Sparta is well worth a visit. Take the Acropolis trail which is a loop trail and easily walkable to take in the key sites. The Archaeological Site of the Acropolis of Sparta features the remains of the ancient city including the Roman theatre which was one of the largest in ancient Greece.

Visit Mystras

An UNESCO World Heritage Site situated close to Sparta, the castle town of Mystras was the second most important town in ancient Greece. This archaeological site is home to well-preserved Byzantine churches, the remains of the Palace and the walls which used to surround the hillside. 

Olive Oil Tasting

Visit one of the many olive vineyards to try a variety of different olive oils produced in the region. Free tours are offered at many on particular days of the week. 

Dourakis' Tower

Located in the charming village of Kastania, this traditional tower house, known locally as Dourakis' Tower, is a reconstruction of a traditional Mani tower. Free of charge to enter, you are welcome to explore inside the tower and explore the surrounding medieval churches.
