Going up the newly paved road that passes over the Achilles will reach another historic village of Laya, who once had more than 1,000 residents. Unfortunately, few remain today.

Laya has prided because he had the best craftsmen of stone and it is the birthplace of Alice Vouyiouklaki. The towers are particularly well as tall greater inclination get inwardly, giving the truncated pyramid image. A few kilometers further north, the peaks of some hills, develops a cluster of beautiful villages, the Pyrgari, Media Dimaristika, Pera Dimaristika the Kozounas and Spira, who all have visual contact with each other, reminding beacons system. A road goes down the right, leading to the seaside Saint Cyprien, where through a dirt second road , we can arrive in Ormos Vine, which has green waters and white pebbles, which the locals call "lalloudes".

Instead of the way to St. Cyprian, another goes left over, leading to the Prophet Elijah, the ancient red marble quarries, in which is said to built six of the red columns of Agia Sophia in Constantinople. Even further north on the main street of Mani and after passing the coastal Kokkala will get to Nyfi with the beautiful towers. From the settlement Bigla on the edge of the trail begins, initially reaches the abandoned Monastery Kournou in a location with a rare Mani privilege to have two sources of pure water. Continuing the path after the Monastery Kournou,you will find the site of the ancient Aigilas that Mani called "Column" because of the scattered ancient columns that are there. Under Nyfi lies the beautiful bay of Alypius where likeable and restless lady Potitsa Glezakos will do our utmost to serve us in the beautiful tavern.
