Sailing the Med Episode 18: Porto Kagio by Sail -- History, Serenity & Hidden Greece
Set sail with us to Porto Kagio, a quiet bay tucked into the rugged Mani Peninsula of the southern Peloponnese. This historic anchorage has sheltered sailors since ancient times and once served as a hideout for pirates. As we round the cliffs and enter the calm waters, we're struck by the contrast of natural beauty and historical depth. In this video, we anchor, swim, and explore ashore, where a few tavernas dot the shoreline and time seems suspended. The hills surrounding Porto Kagio tell stories of Ottoman sieges and World War II resistance fighters - and yet today, they offer only peace. We also walk to the nearby ruins and reflect on how sailing connects us not just to nature, but to history. The sailing conditions here are ideal for those seeking a calm, protected anchorage with rich scenery. If you're cruising the Peloponnese, this is a must-visit waypoint.
