Messenia, Gulf of

gulf, Greece

Modern Greek Messiniakós Kólpos, formerly Gulf Of Koróni, or Gulf Of Kalamáta,

gulf of the Ionian Sea in the nomós (department) of Messenia, southwestern Peloponnese, Greece. It is enclosed by the Likódhimon Óros (mountain) and Ákra (cape) Akrítas on the west and the Mani peninsula on the east.

The non-navigable Pámisos Potamós (river), rising in the Mínthi Óros of Messenia, debouches at the head of the gulf just west of Kalámai, a manufacturing centre and the second port of the Peloponnese. On the east side of the Akrítas is the port of Koróni (ancient Asine), originally settled by Argives after the First Messenian War (c. 735–c. 715 BC). Reoccupied during the Middle Ages by refugees from the north who gave it the name of their former village, Koróni retains Byzantine, Venetian, and Turkish fortifications. In 1828 the French landed in this gulf during the War of Greek Independence to help clear the Peloponnese of Turks.
