The next passage was South round Cape Malea and across Lakonikos Kolpos to the middle finger of the Peloponnese.
It is from Cape Malea that Jason & the Argonauts got blown south to Crete in a storm. Greek sailors believed that when they rounded this cape outwards that they might never see Greece again.
The Mani peninsula is quite wild and there are remote little villages situated high up in the mountains.
Porto Kayio is on the southern end of the Mani peninsula, the only spot of shelter in the area. The holding is not great, however the weather was calm and after a longish 10 hour day we anchored up in the bay.
