Welcome to Petreas Tower, located in Old Kardamyli in Messinian Mani.
Same as all towers in Mani, PetreasTower combines the unique historical heritage with traditional architecture. Within the wildness and solitude of the landscape, Petreas Tower looks like it belongs there entirely as much as the rocks and the folds of the mountains all around.
With its minimalistic and austere style, made completely of the abundant material of the place, the stone, it is in perfect harmony with the landscape of Mani. In the tower, the traditional crossbows or loopholes in its elevated parts which were intended to confront the intruders, have been preserved even today.
Externally it is surrounded by a stone courtyard overlooking the olive trees of the area while internally it has three floors, the upper, the lower and the basement. Completely renovated but maintaining its traditional aesthetic, Petreas Tower offers its customers the unique experience of authentic Messinian hospitality.
Ancora due parole sulla location. Kardamyili è una
cittadina tranquilla ma al contempo vivace, un luogo davvero strategico
per organizzare i vostri percorsi di visita nel Mani
centro-settentrionale. A pochi kilometri di distanza troverete le belle
spiagge di ciottoli di Kalamitsi, Foneas (caratterizzata dalla famosa
roccia al centro) e Delfinia, mentre per gli amanti della sabbia
perfette saranno Kalogria e Stoupa. Ma il Mani non è solo mare: il
maestoso profilo del Monte Taigeto vi terrà d'occhio in qualsiasi punto
della regione voi siate, invitandovi a fare memorabili escursioni e gite
in villaggi tradizionali.
