Neo Itilo in the southwestern Peloponnese |
 |
|
Neo Itilo is located between Karavostasi and Limeni in the southwestern
Peloponnese. This part of the Peloponnese, whose name is Mani, is
extremely beautiful and here there are many nice beaches, cozy villages
and interesting sights. Above Neo Itilo lies the village of Itilo,
which is one of the most genuine villages in the area.
The incredibly beautiful bay where Neo Itilo is located.
Neo Itilo is a tiny village that is incredibly beautiful at the end of a wide bay. There are a few hotels, pensions and a couple of tavernas here. What attracts people to Neo Itilo is partly the nice location and partly the long beach. The beach consists of pebbles mixed with sand. There can be high waves as you can see in the pictures. Perfect for those of you who like belly surfing. Like I do.
There can be high waves at the beach, so if you like belly surfing, you've come to the right place.
ACCOMMODATION IN NEO ITILOI have not stayed overnight in Neo Itilo but I would love to. I can imagine that the mornings and evenings are absolutely fantastic. During the day I would either laze on the beach or go on excursions in the local area. If I were to stay here, I would choose Selana Studios which looks absolutely wonderful. |

If you stay in Kardamili, you have a fantastic trip down to Neo Itilo, which is 40 kilometers south of Kardamili. Along the coastal road you pass the nice villages of Stoupa, Agios Nikolaos and Trachila. If you continue six kilometers south of Neo Itilo, you will come to the wonderful village of Aeropoli.
The beach in Neo Itilo in one direction.
As if that weren't enough, the biggest attraction in Mani is undoubtedly nearby, namely the Diros caves. Diros Caves have been known since the end of the 19th century, but it was only in 1949 that the caves began to be explored, and in 1960 they were opened to the public.
The beach of Neo Itilo in the other direction.
What makes this cave so special is that it is below the surface of the water, and as a visitor you ride a boat through parts of the lake. To date, 14,700 meters of the cave have been mapped, but visitors only get to see a small part of the cave. The cave system is located approximately 11 kilometers south of Aeropoli, below the village of Pirgos Dirou.
The boat trip in the Diros caves begins here.
