Vounaria Holidays

Tucked away on the sun-drenched southwest coast of the Peloponnese, Vounaria is a charming seaside village offering peaceful beaches, mouth-watering local cuisine, and that signature laid-back Greek lifestyle. It’s an under-the-radar spot perfect for unwinding – and soaking up some serious sunshine.

Start your holiday on Peroulia Beach, a pristine stretch of golden sand hugged by crystal-clear waters. It’s the perfect place to kick back, dip your toes in the calm Messinian Gulf, and let your worries float away.

After a day by the sea, head to one of the village’s friendly tavernas for a feast of Greek flavours. Whether you’re craving grilled octopus, a hearty helping of moussaka, or a fresh Greek salad topped with creamy feta, Vounaria’s local dishes are the stuff of foodie dreams – served with a warm dose of Greek hospitality.

Fancy an adventure? Vounaria is an ideal base for exploring the wider Peloponnese, with plenty of historical and natural gems just a short drive away. In just 20 minutes, you can reach the charming seaside town of Koroni, home to narrow cobbled streets, a scenic harbour, and an impressive Venetian castle perched high above the sea. Wander through the ancient fortress, soak up panoramic views of the Messinian Gulf, and enjoy a leisurely coffee at one of the waterfront cafés – perfect for those who love a mix of history and coastal charm.

As the sun sets, Vounaria’s laid-back charm shifts into a relaxed evening buzz. Start with a peaceful stroll along Peroulia Beach, where the sky transforms into a canvas of pink, orange, and gold.
Afterwards, head to a local taverna or beach bar for a chilled glass of local wine or a refreshing cocktail. The nightlife here is low-key but full of character – but you can expect live Greek music, friendly conversation, and the soft hum of the sea in the background. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a sun-soaked day.
