he first three
photographs show nineteenth-century houses
in Gytheio that descend in amphiteatrical
tiers
from the slope of the mountain to the shoreline of the
port. Characteristic Greek fishing boats, among
which you will always find at least one named Agios
Nikolaos, enchant us with their bright colors. On
the tip of the "island" of Marathonisi
is a lighthouse (ill. 4), while a small modern church of St. Peter (ill.
6) stands just about a stone's throw from the
town. The middle of the "island" is
dominated by the 18th-century tower of Tzanet-Bey
Grigorakis, home of the
Museum of the Mani region (ill. 5).
