The eye of the visitor is captivated as he reaches the Vathia settlement, consisted of about 70 stone towers, lined up one next to another, at the top of the mountain ridge. Vathia begins to be referred in historical texts of the 16th century and became the capital of the area in the 19th century. In 1980, the Greek National Tourism Organization restored several towers into hostels. The visitor is awed by the greatness of the Mani landscape, as it captures the bond among stone, soil and pride through the marvel of simplicity in the architectural lines. The village is about 2 km away from the sea, and is probably the most photographed area of Mani.
