OUR REVIEW

Almost at the tip of the Mani coast, a small bay with a few houses, some restored, some old and ready to improve (!). But at the end of this tiny bay, the end of the village is Kyrimai….built from stone in 1870 and restored in 2003 to be a magic oasis by the sea for those who would seek something fine and calm, with the sense of the area you have visited, but the style and comforts of luxury.
This is a place I would drive to, enjoying the magnificent scenery on the way and then settle in for a worthwhile amount of time. You too deserve this pleasure.

Public areas and rooms are all most attractive…when you arrive in a good place to stay perhaps you should feel that you have arrived somewhere by special invitation – you feel this at Kyrimai.

Breakfast is by the pool, in fact you dine by the pool on a fine day. There is shade if needed, or if the breeze or wind picks up, the solidly furnished dining room is there for you as are various areas to sit, relax, chat or even play pool.
Talking of pool the swimming pool is of good size and you can enjoy the luxurious feeling of swimming in a pool that is so close to the rocks and the sea.
The restaurant is a pride and joy for the area. The quality of your stay will be excellent in comfort, atmosphere and gastronomy.

Bedrooms and suites have fine beds, well-chosen furniture, substantial drapes and good bathrooms.
Some rooms have a small balcony or terrace and if you look down you are truly on the edge of the sea - waves appear to lap below at the edge of the building as if you were staying in a lighthouse.
This a rocky coastline - as the most dramatic ones are.

Gerolimenas and therefore Kyrimai, is on the same latitude as southern Sicily and the straits of Gibraltar.
Further down from Gerolimenas on the peninsula, in Porto Sternes is the temple of Tainarios Poseidon, and on the beach are the relics of the Asomatos church. Next to the church, you can visit Hades cave, where Poseidon was worshipped.
Also worth visiting is the Tainaro Cape, the tip of the peninsula, with one of the largest lighthouses in Greece.
