Opposite Gythio, in Laconia, there is a small, lush islet with a romantic, ancient history. According to Homer, there was their first night together by the beautiful Helen and Paris before starting their journey to Troy.
Kranai (also known as Marathonisi) was the hideout of the love of the beautiful Helen and Paris when they were popped together from Sparta. Indeed, it is said that it was named after a helmet that is said to have left Paris on the coast, departing the next day for Troy.
However, the word Cranos, according to Homer, has the following concepts: “rocky”, “tired”, “hard”. Therefore, some believe that the word craniers literally means “rock”.
The island is linked to land with a trail built in 1898. It is overgrown with pine trees and there is a chapel dedicated to Agios Petros, preferred by many couples for their weddings due to its wonderful view of the city of Gythio and its picturesque location.
In Krani, the famous Janetakithe traditional, stone, three -storey house of Mani Tzannetakis Grigorakis, who houses the historical and ethnological museum of Gythio.
Also, visitors can admire the enthusiast on the edge of the island. It is 23 meters high and was built in 1873, with high quality marble from Tainaro, Mani.
