Hotels in Messenia, Greece

Messenia is a region in southwestern Greece, with hot, dry summers hitting 90°F (32°C) and mild winters around 55°F (13°C). It's famous for its olive oil and ancient sites like the ruins of Messene, a planned city from 369 BC, and the Venetian fortress at Methoni overlooking the Ionian Sea. In summer, you can swim at Voidokilia Beach, a crescent-shaped cove, while spring and fall are perfect for hiking through olive groves to Pylos' Neokastro castle, especially because fewer tourists fill the trails.
