Hi,
We were round that way last October and had a fantastic time. We loved the port of Gythio. Very vibrant, lovely seafood (lots of cruise tourists).
We went round the Mani, which was beautiful, and we plan to go back
there when we have our motorhome. We were touring in a car and were so jealous of the people doing it in motorhomes. That's what set us off wanting an adventure, which has got as far as applying for redundancy now.
On the route from Leonidi to Cosmas is the monastery at Moni Elenis. It's up in the mountains, but the whole route looked fine for a decent van. Cosmas was a very pretty village with a lively square, high up in the mountains - would be very refreshing after the summer heat.
Then there is Mystras, which was built almost as a sister city to Monemvasia, and is worth a look is you are near Sparta (which was also pleasant in an understated way).
Have fun. I'm staring out at the heavy rain over Leicester at the moment and feeling very jealous!

Could you check to see if there's a car ferry running from Gytheio to Crete. There was one running a few years ago but like all Greek ferries it is a bit hit and miss.
Loved the pictures Pat and Neil. Look forward to some more. I will be expecting a history lesson as well when we next meet up. We thought that we could maybe do deal again.
We stayed at Monemvasia beach although no camping signs we stayed 2 nights with 3 other campers, we saw some motorhomes parked in monemvasia both sides.
From there we then went to a lovely little private cove just 2km outside Plytra on the opposite coast to Monemvasia.
We had 3 glorious nights here and the last night we were joined by some german kayaking naturists. I also used my kayak here but didnt follow suit.
We are now in the Mani which is really great because its so different from the rest of Greece. We managed to find a free camper stop just outside Itilio. Today we have riden our motorbike all round the Mani area, had lunch at Porto Kagio at a Taverne where you can also park, will post further details later. had a dip in the lovely sea there, now we are heading back via Areopoli and found an internet cafe.
Dont know where we are heading next.
The temperature is still in its 30C but there seems to be more of a breeze on the west coast.

Sorry past Gythio, we saw ferry signs saying to Crete, we also met someone who said that they had travelled to Crete via we think Gythio. But not certain.

Will catch up with you soon
Love Neil and Pat
We had a great time exploring the Mani in two days, probably not enough to do it justice.
Now In Kardamyli on way to Koroni today.
37C here we wild camped next to the village football pitch.\
Don we have been into the ferry agent here, to ask about ferries, we ended up speaking to the bigger agent they said the ferries are a very hit and miss affair the next on was 21st June at 12.45 arrive 7am. That was from Gythio to Crete.
However, the do run from Athens 3 times every day.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the info.
The smaller Greek ferry services sometimes stop running for no apparent reason half way through the season.
We plan to spend three winter months in Turkey and then take the ferry from Marmaris (Turkey) to Rhodes and then on to Crete.
When on Crete we will check the ferries that run to the Peloponnese.
