What an amazing and wonderful ancient site. Approaching the ancient city by car from above one can see the remains of the vast walls all around - makes the walled cities of Nicosia in Cyprus, Urbino in italy or St. Albans in England tiny by comparison. You start and end at the coffee shop, where they do a good cuppaccino, and allow several hours for your visit. During the hotter months do take a hat and plenty of water as the whole site is vast, quite exposed with very little shade. With excavatations actively ongoing the site is constantly growing but do walk all the way to the ancient stadium its quite spectacular, not to mention all the other structures you see on the way. Do a little reasearch before your visit as the entrance kiosk may have run out of small guide maps but don't miss this wonderful site.

So great to visit hear...fresh grapevines just to collect and eat.Not too many other people.. Quite hard (+38 degrees) for small kids but icecream helped afterwards. Old stadium with their seats were great to see.

This is an unusually interesting site. First, the scale of the digs is amazing. Then, the location is breathtaking. This was a very large city and what is left gives an idea of how prosperous it must have been. The stadium is a gem.

You go riding through the Arcadian Gate, nine kilometers after Meligala and immediately understand that this is not an ordinary archaeological site. Where else there is, indeed, the ancient entrance to the city which runs the entire car? The Arcadian gate is a special case of entry ancient city, though: It looks built by Cyclops, both are gigantic boulders that compose. There was, in her time, a symbol of strength and technical model fortification that protected the road which linked ancient Messene in Arcadia. Not only is the location, near the village of Messinian Mavromati surrounded by green slopes gently leading the Messinian valley, which makes it gives the impression that it is in the middle of nowhere. They are routes, with gravel paths to meander among olive trees and ancient columns, under the merciless sun Messinian, climbing stone steps in which (it is almost impossible to believe that) people go up and down a half millennia ago. It is also beautifully preserved ancient theater, one of the largest of the ancient world, the Ekklesiasterion with features colorful mosaics, evocative Asclepion, the fluffy, green lawn that surrounds the Temple of Artemis in the transparent roof of creating games with light, ornate fountain Arsinoe and evocative stage, the size and the view which is breathtaking. Step reconstructed under the supervision of Professor Peter Themelis classical archeology, and the work done is, in the eyes of the average observer, least impressive -elate before noon, to succeed him at work.

Unexpectedly large site, still undergoing works, gave a real feel for the history of the site. The museum was interesting as it houses all the statues discovered here. Very reasonable entrance fee. You will need to hire a car or take a taxi (45 minutes)

Standing amongst the ruins of ancient Messini actually transports you back in time. Amazing experience

That is the only way to describe the sight that greets you as you come through the gates.The site is huge and, having been here a number of times, it is wonderful to see the active progress being made on uncovering more and more of its treasures. Perhaps the best is to come though, as you walk around the top part of the site you have little inkling of the magnificent amphitheatre laid out before you on the lower level.With a backdrop of impressive mountains on one side, and the valleys down to the sea on the other, this really is a most impressive vista.The amount of restoration that has been undertaken is impressive. although (as other reviewers have noted) there is little in the way of signage (certainly compared to what we are used in the UK). But given the amount of information on-line for this site this isn't an issue.Overall a fantastic experience and well recommended making the way up the roads and tracks to get there!

Heard abt it when i was working in the near areaDecided to go there not expecting much, but was so surprised by how much was actually thereIn my view it may even be better or have more to show/offer than famous site like Delphi

Interesting historical site that is huge. However there is little explanation on the way around the site. The museum is tiny but interesting as some full sized statues there. Would recommend a visit if you have time to do it. No shelter from rain so go when it is dry if you can. Beware of the wild dogs on the road to Ancient Messini. Would not recommend you bike or walk there, go in a group and in a car or bus. We were chased in the car by wild dogs on the way to the site and could hear a lot of dogs from the actual site so having a large stick with you could be useful just in case!
