Small, deserted, sunk in the deep blue of the Ionian Sea, facing the southwestern side of the Peloponnese, lay the six beautiful islands of Messinia. Their names evoke sounds of the sea: Schiza, Sapientza and Agh Mariani (The Inousses complex), opposite the coast of Methoni, Proti opposite Marathopoli, the legendary Sfaktiria in the Pilos area, Venetiko near Koroni and finally, little Meropi just opposite Kardamili. All of them so close to the coasts of Messinia, but so far away from the usual destinations of the ordinary tourist. Each and every one of these little islands has an unbelievable uniqueness, and all preserve a natural environment of rare beauty. Exciting vegetation is hidden in their hills, where wild birds and animals have their nests. The crystal waters of windless bays that hide imposing wreckage in their magical seabed wash them. The names of many of these islands are closely connected with historic moments of the Greek nation. They have served as refuge to conquerors, seafarers, shipwrecked people, pirates, and saints. Their soil has experienced bloody battles, and their water has frothed during sea – battles under the ship- bows. The Messinia Islands, almost unaffected by violent human intervention, maintain an exotic beauty, which makes them, if combined with the joy of exploring and discovering, one of the last insular heavenly resorts of our country. All that beauty is lavishly opened to the traveler who will cross the blue sea and respectfully approach the little, rocky “Akrites” (front – guards) of the archipelago, the lonely neighbors of the land of Messinia.
