Gerolimenas

A moderate earthquake shook areas of Lakonia and Messinia in the Peloponnese in southern Greece on Tuesday at 10.50 p.m.

The eponymous Mani region of extreme southern Greece has long been considered what British author John Fowles once referred to as “Wild Greece”. The rugged and sparsely populated region is roughly divided between two prefectures, Messinia and Laconia, which in antiquity was the home of Sparta.
