Akrotainaritis

We stayed in the Akrotainaritis Rooms for one night in August and were extremely sorry that we had to move on to the next part of our road trip of the Peloponnese. The Mani is completely unspoilt and Gerolimenas is just the most perfect seaside village - if you want busy then this is not the place for you! Our spacious bedroom and shower room on the first floor, although simple, were clean, well supplied with a fridge, hairdrier, water and toiletries and had the most amazing wrap around balcony with both sea and mountain views. We could have spent hours just watching the goings on outside from the balcony but the sparkling warm sea called us for a swim. The quiet bay is literally just steps over the road. We ate our delicious evening meal overlooking the sea, from the restaurant which owned by the lovely family who run the hotel - you can also eat inside should you wish. The cliffs around the bay are lit up at night adding to the wonderful atmosphere of this enchanting place. Breakfast is supplied at an extra cost but it is very simple. I live in hope that we will be able to return! …

If you want to visit a part of the deep Mani that is utterly beautiful and unspoilt this is the place! Akrotainaritis is a small bed and breakfast hotel with two main blocks. It’s simple and unfussy. The rooms are spotless with good beds and aircon though the bathrooms are basic. We had a glorious sea view (the water is very close) with a super balcony and it’s great in the morning to watch the fishermen come in. The breakfast is simple but fresh and the restaurant is excellent for lunch and dinner, taken right by the water. There is a tiny strip of pebble beach here where you can launch yourself into the most beautiful water. There is a bigger pebble beach at the other end of the harbour. Spiros the owner and his sister are delightful hosts. If you want a base in the Mani that is simple and delightful this is it. …
