Holidays in Koroni

Anyone wanting to experience undiluted, authentic Greece should try holidays in Koroni. Untainted by tourism, this beguiling harbour town on the western Messinian Gulf typifies all the attractions of Greece's unspoilt coast.

Overlooked by an imposing, rocktop castle, Koroni has an ageless feel, with blue-painted fish tavernas flanking the waterfront and bright fishing boats bobbing in the bay. Honey-stone walls partially encircle the town, whilst within the steep lanes, flower-bedecked whitewashed cottages create a fairytale scene. Whatever the day brings, it's hard to resist lingering here over a glass of ouzo, mouth-watering mezes or starlit suppers as the waves gently lap the harbour walls.

Nearby Zaga Beach is the other highlight of holidays in Koroni. A short stroll away, its satiny sands, glass-like waters and tavernas make it ideal for sun-snoozing, swimming and lunching the day away. And the good news is that Thomson offer some great properties here. Zeus Villas and Zaga Apartments and Cottages are perfect for couples wanting restful escapes. Combined with our fantastic deals – fancy a last-minute getaway? – they're all part of the dreamy holidays we offer in Koroni.

One last thing. Koroni holidays wouldn't be complete without witnessing Messinia's aeons-old archeological riches. The evocative ancient sites of Messini and Mystras, and the crumbling Venetian castles that stud the local coastline are just too fascinating to miss.
