From simple rooms to boutique hotels; traditional manistyle accommodation and suites with Jacuzzi. There is something for every travel budget. The two fine sandy bays of Stoupa main beach and the famous, long bay of Kalogria have a fine sandy bottom and gently sloping seabed.

The town of Kalogria, which flows smoothly into Stoupa, offers various types of water sports and beach activities. The great Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis wrote large parts of his successful novel Alexis Zorbas here. Inspired by a local miner.

In terms of tavernas, bars and nightlife, Stoupa offers a wide range in the summer months. Accommodation options from simple to exclusive are plentiful. Nice hotels with pools, apartments and stone villas above and in the village. Rental cars, scooters and bicycles are available for rent.

Especially pleasant in the high summer months is the clear water of Kalogria beach. With its underground freshwater springs, which bring over 3-4 degrees colder water. Around the bay, appealing café bars and restaurants have settled in a loose semicircle. Sunbeds and umbrellas are offered as well as volleyball and beach games.

You wash the salt water off your skin in a natural bathtub and then enjoy a cold frappe in one of the nice café bars. Stoupa is connected by the coastal road with Itilo (approx. 45min.) in the south and Kalamata (approx. 60 minutes) in the north with a regular bus service.

Hiking and trekking enthusiasts will find a varied terrain of different levels of difficulty. ( Various hiking routes are Ag. Sofia, Kambos Gorge, Ritsa Gorge, Profitis Ilias, Halasmenos) The beautiful fishing village of Ag. Nikolaos is located right next to Stoupa (4km), and offers, among other things, the opportunity to be treated to freshly caught fish after long walks on the beach. The tranquil harbour backdrop of Stupas embodies the charm of ancient Greece. Boat and sailing tours to Koroni over and/or along the coast are offered. Trekking and mountain bikes, as well as scooters are often used to see the surrounding area of old mountain villages and ancient sites.

Stoupa as a starting point offers the opportunity to experience one of the most traditional areas of Greece with the Messinian and Laconian Mani and to combine it ideally with a beach holiday. Day trips to ancient Greek sites such as the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Mistras (approx. 1 hour) and Mycenae and Epidauraus (approx. 2.5 hours) are among the outstanding sights. In Laconia alone, there are over 250 churches, chapels and monasteries from the Byzantine period of the 9-12th century, some of which have magnificent murals and frescoes.         This is a holiday for the whole family.
