Sapienza
This small islet is opposite Methoni and
beautiful Bourtzi. It is a protected area that
has one of the most rare coumarin forests, a
rare species of wild sheep (muflone), kri-kri
and an unusual plateau at its center, formed
thousands of years ago, where nothing grows
and is formed by pollen deposition !
In the southern part of the island, the
Lighthouse of Sapientza, a giant here in
loneliness, built of stone in 1885, illuminates the
seas from its height of 18 meters. Right in front
of it is the famous Greek islet in heart shape.
