With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that East Mani, 17 miles away, has to offer. Diros Caves should be at the top of your to-do list here. Church of Agios Ioannis and Pikoulakis Tower House Museum are also not to be missed. Don’t miss Kalamata either! Just 20 miles away, Almyros Beach, Mikri Mantinia Beach and Public Library of Kalamata are essential stops here.
