Methana & Pelei

This fairly unknown volcanic peninsula is connected to the Peloponnese by a small isthmus 🌋. It’s part of the same volcanic arc as Santorini, and more than 30 craters and lava domes have shaped its rugged landscape. The last major eruption happened in the 3rd century BCE and you can still walk over old lava fields today.

The whole place feels quite special: tiny villages tucked between strange volcanic formations, smelly natural thermal baths bubbling with mineral water, and wide views over the Saronic Gulf 🌊. We spent our last nights wild camping here.

To round off our months in Greece, we moved to a small mountain house surrounded by olive trees 🌿. Peaceful mornings in the sun and slow evenings by the fire, a perfect goodbye 💛.Read more
