Deep Into Mani: Journey to the Southern Tip of Greece

This book is an excellent reference to the Inner Mani (Mesa Mani). (If you are looking for the Outer Mani (Messinian Mani), it doesn't say much.)It has a few picture sections that hit the highlights of the area, and even just browsing the pictures will make anyone with the slightest sense of curiousity want to spend time there.It is as well written as Patrick L. Fermor's "Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese" but a *LOT* more up to date. (It covers the area in about 1980, and still matches well with what I saw last year). [The Mani of Patrick Fermor has passed away with the comming of the road into the area, this book covers it as it has become]This book is a "Must Read" for anyone that is planning to visit the Mani. This book included places of interest there that I was unaware of after several trips.
