Exactly what Sistine Chapel was to Michelangelo,
the same is Marathopoli for Messenia.
In the South of Peloponnese in Messini, Marathopoli stands proudly looking towards the
West, and the peaceful yet captivating blue of the Ionian Sea. Right across it, God has built a
natural seawall, the Proti Island, which protects Marathopoli from the waves which the angry
temper of mighty Poseidon unleashes. It is certain that your visit to Marathopoli will leave you
with memories that will take your breath away, and which you will remember for a lifetime!
