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.

In 1498, the Ottomans conquered the city, which, like the entire Morea, came under the rule of Venice again from 1686 to 1715. During this phase, the Venetians expanded the land side of the fortress with modern bastions, although the work was not completed before they had to evacuate the Peloponnese. Sultan Bayezid II, who was trying to remove the Qizilbāsh, whom he considered infidel, from Anatolia, made the coastal areas of Greece, including Modon, a major destination for deportations.

During the Byzantine rule - a Venetian fleet conquered and plundered the city under the leadership of Doge Domenico Michiel as early as 1125 - and the Venetian rule that began in 1206, the city was provided with mighty city walls that are still very well preserved today. Methoni and the Koroni fortress on the east side of the finger served as the "two eyes of Venice" on the Peloponnese at the time and were important bases for shipping. The top management was appointed annually in Venice, more precisely in the Great Council there. In 1381, Michele Steno, the later Doge, took over the office of castellan of Modon and Koron together with Paolo Marcello. Another Doge, Giovanni Gradenigo, also held the post of castellan of the double fortress in his political career in 1358 and 1359.
