"Mani is a wild and sparsely inhabited region. Past the fertile zones of Githio and Itilo, the map will guide you to the bleak and arid part of the peninsula known as ""Deep Mani"" and as far as Cape Matapan, the southernmost point of the Peloponnese and entrance to the underworld. Many chapels are to be found dating from the mid-Byzantine period and hundreds of towers isolated or grouped in villages. Additional sights include the Frankish castle of Passavas and Diros caves"
