Is there a church of St Paul (preferably)or The Apostles in or around Agios Nikolaos/Stoupa in order to celebrate on the 29th June? If not, is there one within driving distance of Agios Nikolaos?

We stayed in Gialova, near Pylos, last year and loved it, except for the fact that the sea was really cold (it was last two weeks of July and very hot outside). Does anyone know if that's normal for the area, or if there is anywhere in the Peleponnese region where the sea would normally be warm at that time of year?

Hi everyone,
Now that KOSMAR are no longer around, does anyone know who might be taking over some of the properties they had in Stoupa. Also what other companies have properties in Stoupa. We have been several times in the past with Kosmar and Manos but need to know what is happening in Stoupa now. To all the ex pats out there how has the loss of kosmar affected the town.
It would be a shame not to be able to stay yhere again as it's such a great place.
Any information welcome.
Thank You

Hi.
I'm staying for 3 weeks at Voula Studio in Kardamili Aug/Sept.I've been many places in Greece,but it's my first time to Mani.I'm travelling alone,and hope someone can give me tips where to eat and have a good time with other people.If there are others also staying in Kardamili or nearby,I would like to hear from you.I wouldn't mind hire and drive a car,but it's too expensive for me alone,so if anyone will join me I'd like to see more of Mani.Thanks for any info of Kardamili,hope to hear from you :)By the way,I am a woman from Norway.
