Methoni (Greek Μεθώνη (f. sg.), also Modon, Modoni, Mothone or ancient Greek Methone, in Homer Pedasos) is a small Greek port town in Messinia at the southwestern end of the Peloponnese with about 2598 inhabitants today (as of 2011). Until the end of 2010, Methoni was an independent municipality, after incorporations since 1997 as a city municipality (dimos). On 1 January 2011, Methoni became a municipal district of the new municipality of Pylos-Nestor (for further subdivision see there).
