House with amazing sea views in Methana

The Peloponnese is full of undiscovered magic - a kind of magic that hides in out-of-time and off-the-beaten-track places such as the volcanic peninsula of Methana. With its more than 30 craters Methana is the north-westernmost of the arc of Aegean islands that still feature volcanic activity. Methana was born as an island a couple of million years ago but became connected to the mainland of the South-East Peloponnese by a narrow isthmus that rose up from the sea during one of the many eruptions and accompanying earthquakes. The volcanic island now sleeps the sleep of a Sleeping Beauty, allowing visitors to discover impressive lava domes and craters, age-old man-made terraces, archaeological sites, tiny fishing villages, thermal baths, and amazing views on the surrounding Saronic Gulf. Approaching it on the main road from Archaia Epidauros to Galatas we are able to admire Methana's mysterious silhouette bordering the South-Eastern part of the Gulf of Epidauros. The archaeological site of Troezen, the wetland of Psifta, the town of Galatas and the island of Poros all lie within a stone's throw from the peninsula. Connected by ferry to Methana are the island of Aegina and the harbour of Piraeus (Athens). Even the island of Hydra is not that far away as there are ferries from and to the hamlet of Metochi on the mainland, a 40 minute drive by car.
