Haria is one of the most interesting and well-preserved settlements of Mani, boasting several towers, Byzantine churches, megalithic structures and a remarkable complex of sternes (water tanks). It is 4 km from Areopoli and 7 km from the Diros Caves, and overlooks the bay of Diros, 2 km from the beach of Diros with the clear turquoise waters.
