East Mani (Greek: Ανατολική Μάνη - Anatolikí Máni) is a Greek municipality in the Peloponnese administrative region, in the regional unit of modern Laconia. Its seat of administration is the town of Gytheio. It covers the southern portion of the mountainous and rocky Mani Peninsula, a geographic and cultural region long considered distinct and isolated relative to the rest of Greece. The neighboring municipality West Mani to its northwest encompasses the remainder of the Mani Peninsula. Both municipalities were established in 2011 following reforms to Greek administrative divisions. [2]

Geography

[edit]
Further information: Mani Peninsula § Geography

East Mani occupies the southeastern part of the Mani Peninsula, a region known as Laconian Mani (Λακωνική Μάνη) or Inner Mani (Μέσα Μάνη). The municipality of West Mani is to its north.

East Mani is bisected by the Taygetus Mountains; locals call its western half Aposkiaderi (shady) and the eastern side Prodiliaki (sunny).[3]

The 2021 Greece wildfires ravaged much of the Peloponnese. [4] East Mani took damage across 105 sq. km., with 35% of its mountain slope burnt in the wildfire .[5]

History

[edit]
