Villa Gerakada - Lage und Anfahrt
Arrival at Villa Gerakada
Location:
The small town of Koroni, with its restaurants, tavernas, bars, and shops, is just 2 km away. The main attraction is its fortress, originally Byzantine and later expanded by the Venetians and Ottomans. Today, the site houses a convent founded in 1918, which is partially open to visitors. Within the castle grounds, you will find the remarkable Byzantine cross-in-square church Agia Sophia and the post-Byzantine church of Agios Charalambos.
Getting There:
From May/June to October (subject to change), you can fly to Kalamata and then drive approximately 40 minutes (40 km) with a rental car. Alternatively, you can fly to Athens, where a direct highway leads to Kalamata. The drive from Athens to Koroni takes about 3 to 3.5 hours.
