Stoupa is a coastal village of Mani with very ancient history which can charm the visitor all the seasons of the year.

Here, Nickos Kazantzakis and Alexis Zorbas lived, exploiting Pastrova’s mines. It was here that Nickos Kazantzakis was inspired and wrote his book “ Vios & Politia ” of Alexis Zorbas.

Stoupa, offers the chance for somebody to combine mountain and sea. Setting off from here, you can tour in the magnificent Taygetos enjoying nature’s tranquillity (in the Vasiliki Forest), meet the imperious towers of Mani, the picturesque churches, the small spectacular villages along the unique Kalderimia as well as the Viros and Ridomos gorges. Furthermore, as far as those who adore the sea are concerned, there is a variety of sports (swimming, diving, and sea skiing).
Have a nice vacation!
