    Long sandy beach in the small cute Foinikunda village. There's a short but very steep hill to climb just to the west of the village; just take your time pushing uphill, while admiring the views and the cute little houses along the super-narrow street winding through the upper village. It's over before you know it 👍

        Finikounda is located at the southwestern end of the Peloponnese, roughly halfway between Methoni and Koroni.

        Finikounda includes the villages of Anemomylos, Lachanada, Chrizokambos and Loutsa, the uninhabited island of Agia Marina and the sparsely inhabited island of Schiza, about five kilometers from the coast.
