Europe > Greece > Peloponnese > Chrani, south of Kalamata

You can find us close to CHRANI in the south of the PELOPONESE between KALAMATA and KORONI, a picturesque fishing village.
CHRANI is a small coastal village with beach, typical restaurants, cafes (with wifi/internet access), small supermarkets and moped-hire catering for all tourist needs.
Our riding school can be found in a beautiful location in unspoilt and tranquil countryside at the foot of the Likodimo mountain. We are surrounded by olive trees with an amazing view across the sea to the Mani mountains.

There is a wealth of fascinating archaeological and historical sites in the surrounding area.

Excursions:


There are plenty of sandy or pebbled beaches to choose from all along the coast. Chrani's 2km-long sandy beach is a short walk from the riding school.

The Venetian fortresses of Koroni, Pilos and Methoni; the extensive archaeological sites of the city of Ancient Messini and the Palace of Nestor all lie within a radius of 50km.

Daytrips can also be taken to other sites of interest such as Mistras, the stalagtites of the caves on Mani, Olympia and other historical treasures.

Insider tip:
There are many other fascinating things to see which are not mentioned in any guidebook and I am always happy to give you suggestions.
The surrounding hills are ideal for exploring on foot or on mountainbikes. Mountainbike hire available.
