Mani Peninsula

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Mani Peninsula (Μάνη in Greek), also long known as Maina or Maïna, is a geographical and cultural region in Greece. Mani is the central peninsula of the three which extend southwards from the Peloponnese in southern Greece. To the east is the Laconian Gulf, to the west the Messenian Gulf. The peninsula forms a continuation of the Taygetos mountain range, the western spine of the Peloponnese. A place so wild, that even the Sicilians and Calabrese of Italy were reluctant to step foot.
