Three slow days in the Peloponnese

Coast roads, small tavernas and a hike above the Mani — a short trip that felt much longer.

Three slow days in the Peloponnese
We flew into Kalamata late and drove south along the coast, windows down, olive trees on both sides. It felt immediately like the right decision. The next morning we walked a short section of the coast path above Kardamyli. It's not a long hike, but the light on the water and the smell of the pines made me want to keep going for days. We didn't. We went and ate a very long lunch instead. That felt right too.
