Goula's is a simple bed and breakfast hostel inside the castle of Monemvasia. The owner was very helpful and since it was early in the season let us have one of the rooms for 60 Euros per night. The two level loft we got was very comfortable and clean. Our five year old was ecstatic at the place as he got the bed withthe view.
The atmospere of staying in a castle is something unique. Our room was furnished in the traditional style and we had use of our own lemon tree shaded courtyard that over looked the sea. Everything was close and our stay there was superb.

When we arrived in the pretty little hamlet of Limni Gerakas there were no signs advertising rooms so we asked at a taverna and we were taken next door and shown this strange, wonderfully traditional place with two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom and a tiny little balcony overlooking the ffiord type bay. Absolute heaven. We paid the enormous sum of 500dx. a night here and ended staying a few days.
There was a huge chandelier in the kitchen, a huge, noisy old-fashioned fridge and an amazing array of kitchen equipment.
This seemed to be the only accommodation available in the village.
One thing I'll always remember about this place was the wooden ceiling. When it rained the sound was very much amplified. Also the double bed turned out to be a 3/4 bed with a double mattress hanging over both sides!!! Not as luxurious as it looked.
I think the outstanding feature of this property was the lovely view. We spent the early evenings watching the fishing boat activities.

Three of them are on Mavrovouni 6 klms beach, near Githio. I cannot call them luxarious but they offer the necessary and known facilities. "Meltemi" is considered best of the three.

Greece has a number of villages and buildings, which have retained traditional characteristics. In order to protect this national heritage, the Greek National Tourist Organization has been instrumental in organizing a project to conserve this traditional architecture as one of the basic elements characterizing the country.
The village of Vathia is a typical Maniot settlement built as an acropolis on top of a hill, in a 1500 meters distance from the seashore. Its stonebuilt houses dating from the 18th and 19th centuries are grouped in dense clusters with a church, a square, fortified dwellings and a military tower. There are 15 rooms and 48 beds available at the guesthouses.

This campsite was only just opening up although the best spots by the beach had all been taken when we arrived.
Extensive site with old bamboo awnings for shade. A few blocks of good facilities and the usual laundry sinks. Also fridges for use.
A taverna fronting the beach .
Superb beach which never got busy and a stream running through the site full of eels, terrapins and fish.
If you were back-packing there was a nice campimg area bt the stream.
A walk from the site along the back of the beach takes you to some substantial bridges, they even have footlights in them. They were nowhere near the road so we weren't sure whether there had been a road there at some time. There was certainly no sign of one and the bridges were well maintained. A mystery.
One thing we will always laugh about was the chemical disposal point. It was just a proper toilet positioned outside the toilet block!!!!
The beach here takes some beating.

A long way down a rough, single track road. Certainly off the beaten track.
