This Greek village presents a Scandinavian landscape like Norway, especially in winter.

The law Laconia is a place of extraordinary beauty and extreme contrasts, from its mountain forests, the green fields around Taygetusup to its stone, “lunar” capes Mani.

Within this natural palette, we also find a place that many call “little Norway of Greece”, the village of Gerakasa seaside settlement hidden inside an actual fjord.

When you are there for the first time, and you see the little village that stands on its edge lagoonwhich joins the open via a narrow channel, you won’t believe you’re in Greece.

The underrated Gerakas may have been overshadowed for years by the “cosmopolitan” Monemvasia, but offers its own special spectacle to the visitor. His story lasts from Byzantiumwhen it was called “Hawk» and was one of the naval stations of the Byzantines against the Saracens.
