The peninsula of "Peloponnese" has three promontories on its southern side, resembling fingers on a hand. The middle one of these "fingers" is called Mani and consists of a northern part, the "Exo Mani," located in the province of Messinia, and a southern part, the "Mesa Mani," with Areopoli as its capital, situated in the province of Laconia. Kalyves is located in Mesa Mani, approximately 40 km from Kalamata, at the foot of Mount Taygetos.
