The mini-village Kamaria has only 40 inhabitants and some holiday homes are scattered around. The way to Villa Pilias is only used by very few residents, so that even in the main season of August it is very quiet, although there are 5 almost empty dream beaches with sand within 10 kilometers. 5 km away is the well-known fishing village of Finikounda, where the Greeks (mostly from Athens) go on holiday in August and know why. Because the Messian coast between Gialova and Koroni is Eu area NaturaSo no bed castles, new houses - if they can be built at all - at most two floors and at least 200 meters from the waterline. By the way: in Greece there is a right to enter the beach, i.e. no private beaches. There are no discos, dance halls and night bars in Pilias, that's not the area of ​​the large community of Pylos-nestoras.
But 250 meters from Villa Pilias is the quaint, typical Greek tavern Apolafsi where Niki and Paniotti prepare everything fresh. The new Taverna Meraki, located in Kamaria on the steep road to the sea, is also recommended.
In addition to the beach and good food, hiking is also popular. In Villa Pilias there is a hiking book with 17 routes and in autumn, winter and spring you can join a hiking group free of charge every Saturday. Bicycles even e-bikes can be rented in Finikounda, where there are beautiful taverns right by the sea. Fishing port there.
It should be clear that Messinia is teeming with old buildings and churches. There are the castles of Methoni and Pylos, here with a great museum and exhibitions, the monastery in Koroni, the ancient city of Messini near Kalamata or Kalamta itself with many churches, museums and exhibitions. From Kamaria it is also just under two and a half hours drive to Olympia, Mycenae, Epidaurus or Mistras near Sparta.
To Sparta you can either take the highway (90 km) from Kalamata over the up to 2500 meter high Taygetos Mountains, whose highest mountain, snow-covered in winter, can be seen from the terrace of Villa Pilias in clear weather. Because from here there is a postcard view of this mountain and of course the sea.
