Finikounda & Methoni: Greek Seaside Village Charm (Peloponnese) | Φοινικούντα Μεθώνη

In this video we travel to the exotic Foinikounta and the idyllic Methoni, two picturesque, seaside villages and popular tourist destinations in the prefecture of Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece. Join me and my family on this beautiful journey, as we witness Greek summer in all its glory. Sea, sun, gorgeous landscapes and amazing sunsets... welcome!
"Foinikounta or Finikounda is a seaside village and a community in the municipal unit of Pylos, Messenia, Greece. It is situated in the southwestern tip of the Peloponnese peninsula, 9 km east of Methoni and 37 km southwest of Kalamata. It is most notable for its beautiful beaches which attract mostly Greek and other European visitors during the summer months."

"Methoni is located 11 km south of Pylos and 11 km west of Foinikounta. Its economy is dominated by tourism, attracted by its beaches and its historical castle."

Εξαιρετική παρουσίαση με υπέροχα πλάνα και μουσική! Κρίμα που δεν προλάβαμε το κάστρο ανοιχτό, ίσως την επόμενη φορά...

Greece is so beautiful! I loved the scene with the couple staring at the sunset and the one in the end with the sun diving into the sea. Beautiful work John 👍

Nice video, grea beautiful places , very good sharing 🙂👍

[@topplacesingreece]

Oh, thank you! It really is, greetings from Athens 😊

[@soulakalamata]

Και τα δύο χωριά που επιλεξες να πας πολύ όμορφα....μου άρεσε που έκλεισες το βίντεο σου στην Μεθώνη και με ηλιοβασίλεμα....σούπερ βίντεο...μπράβο Γιάννη ‼️🔝

[@topplacesingreece]

Σούλα εγώ μαγεύτικα από τη Μεθώνη. Δεν την έχω δει σε άλλες ώρες της ημέρας αλλά στο ηλιοβασίλεμα...ουαου! Το κάστρο δεν το προλάβαμε, έκλεινε στις 20:00. Τι να πρωτοπρολάβω όμως. Πολλές οι ομορφιές και ο χρόνος λιγότερος. Και η Φοινικούντα μου άρεσε πολύ. Αλλά άντε βρες μου ένα μέρος στη Μεσσηνία που να μην είναι όμορφο!

[@soulakalamata]

@@topplacesingreece καλημέρα Γιάννη, καλή εβδομάδα...πραγματικά η Ελλαδιτσα μας έχει παντού ομορφιές....

[@lorenzo9472]

with the idea to visit this area, where do you suggest to stay for couple of nights? Pylos, Methoni or Finikounta? thx

[@topplacesingreece]

I would definitely choose Pylos. It is a town compared to Finikounda and Methoni which are small villages. So it would be busier and more fun at night. You can use Pylos as your base to explore the whole area. Don't forget to visit Voidokilia beach (check my latest video).

[@lorenzo9472]

@@topplacesingreece many thanks !!

[@Byzantios1]

My father was from just north of Finikounda, in Lachanada.

[@topplacesingreece]

So Messinian father and Arcadian mother. Great roots my friend!
