Fodor's Expert Review Stoupa

This long stretch of clean sand along a curving bay is undeniably the most popular beach in the Mani, though far from the quietest and most scenic spot in this rugged region. You'll share the company of frolicking young Greeks and sun-worshipping northern Europeans, but given that this is the Mani, this is a relatively low-key beach resort, and it's quite possible to find a quiet stretch. Amenities: food and drink; parking (free); showers; toilets; water sports. Best for: partiers; snorkeling; swimming; walking.
