Top Ten "Unknown" Greek Destinations: #8 - The Mani in the Peloponnese
Land of old family feuds, desolate scrub-covered plains, and a determined, self-sufficient attitude among its inhabitants, the Mani is a break from civilization, ancient or modern. Traditional fortunetellers can be found to tell the future and give a special blessing - ask around. Family watchtowers designed to keep an eye and a rifle sight on rivals dot the landscape. Even the Ottoman Empire couldn't make much headway with the Maniots, but now some of the old towers are being bought by foreign purchasers to renovate as vacation homes. Will gentrification conquer what the Ottomans could not? Go soon, just in case.
