The abandoned village of Vathia in the Peloponnese

Perched on a steep cliff in Lakonia in the northeastern Peloponnese, the village of Vathia provides a glimpse into Greece's past. 


This historic settlement is known for its stone tower houses and archetypal Mani architecture, such as narrow multi-story dwellings. The towers once served as fortresses and status symbols for powerful families feuding in the area. 

Despite its small size, Vathia’s iconic stonework and dramatic setting high above the coast make this atmospheric village a fascinating spot to explore traditional Greek village life in the storied Mani region.
