Change your “air” in a green but also volcanic landscape with many thermal springs. Take romantic walks along the beautiful paved street of the small peninsula of Agioi Anargyroi at the entrance of the city. Around it there are still remnants of fortifications that resemble the Cyclopean walls. Visit the impressive cave of Peristera, so named because of the many pigeon-like stalactites. Experience Easter in one of the 37 churches of Methana. Climb the ancient acropolis in Paleokastro with parts of the wall from the Peloponnesian War still in place.

Peloponnesian and modern sounds. Familiar notes on the green peninsula with the “explosive” moods.

The unique scent of oregano, which grows in the volcanic soils of the area and the – only for a short time – annoying smell of sulphur as it emerges from the many thermal springs of the island.

Dishes with ovaries – wild asparagus, the handmade goglias pasta and the pepper – the methanotic milk pie.

Grab your hiking gear and set off for a unique experience, through an incredible route of pine trees, holly trees and lava formations, as you climb up to the volcano crater, located near the traditional village of Kameni Chora. On the narrow strip that connects Methana with Argolida, walk to the castle of the French general and philhellene Favieros with the chapel of Agios Nikolaos. Indulge in the “doctor” of nature, the hot baths and the hydro-massage either for treatment or for beauty, rejuvenation and well-being.

INFO With stone, mud and …wine is built the small church of “Krassopanagia” on the westernmost cape of Methana. Legend has it that a merchant built it as a vow to the Virgin Mary, as he was passing by with his boat loaded with wine, when he fell into a sea turbulence and was in danger of drowning.
