What makes it stand out
The island is associated with distinctive woodland, coastal scenery and a lighthouse. These features do not establish that a single trip visits all of them. Ask the operator to explain the actual permitted landing and shore programme, and keep underwater heritage separate from casual swimming or snorkelling.
Planning your visit
Base yourself in Methoni or another appropriate mainland settlement. Confirm the operator, departure point, sea conditions, landing permissions, equipment and cancellation terms. Follow the authorised route and carry out waste; do not improvise paths into sensitive vegetation. Methoni Castle or Koroni provides a worthwhile alternative if the trip does not run. This guide does not promise access to the lighthouse, forest interior or wreck sites.
