Car Hire in Koroni - Mini guide to Koroni

The Greek town of Koroni in the southwestern part of the Peloponnese has been in existence since ancient times. This scenic town on the edge of the Gulf of Messinia below a towering Venetian castle is a 45-minute drive southwest of Kalamata by car hire in Koroni.

Car rental in Koroni is highly recommended because the closest airport is in Kalamata and there are few other public transportation options. Cheap car hire in Koroni is available at the town's Economy Car Rentals, Holiday Autos, and Argus Car Hire offices.

The Venetians originally built the stunning Castle of Koroni on the site of the ruins of Asine, an ancient Messenian town, between 1250 and 1270. The castle changed hands between the Turks and Venetians for several centuries until a French general liberated it in 1828. The castle includes a grand gate and Turkish baths, and is currently being restored by archaeologists.

Koroni is also filled with historic and beautiful churches such as the Byzantine Church of Aghia Sophia, the Church of St. Charalambos, and the Church of Panaghia Eleistria.

Visitors who prefer sunbathing to history also won't be disappointed in Koroni's beaches. Koroni's main beach called Saga is situated in the back of the Castle of Koroni, while the smaller and less crowded Memi Beach lies another kilometre and a half up the shoreline. The impressive and well-preserved fortress of Methoni is also not far away by car rental in Koroni.
