Notable Religious Sites
East Mani's religious landscape is defined by stone-built Byzantine and post-Byzantine structures that reflect the region's austere history. This collection includes significant sites like the 18th-century Moni Dekoulou, known for its role in the Orlov Revolt, and the high-altitude Moni Panagias Giatrissas on Mount Taygetos.
