The little-known cape of the Peloponnese and the small islets with exotic waters that sailors and boaters love.
Greece is full of little-known paradise nooks, beaches, and landscapes that impress and rival the world's top exotic destinations. One such exotic corner, known to few, is the Cape Skyllaion or Kavo-Skyli or Tselevinia, at the easternmost tip of the Peloponnese, where two seas meet: the Saronic and the Argolic.
Tselevinia: The little-known exotic islets
In the area of this cape there are three small islets named Spathi, Skyli and Gali, surrounded by azure, crystal-clear waters. This paradise is mainly known to boaters and sailors who choose the area for dives. After all, it's not easy to reach the spot in any other way.
It's said that the name Skyllaion comes from Scylla, daughter of Nisos, king of Megara, whose body was washed ashore in the area. According to another version, the cape took its second and more widespread name (Tselevinia) around the 16th century from Arvanites of the area, who, trying to hide from the Turks who were pursuing them, used the expression 'Tselie-venie', meaning watch out - they're coming, as a warning for the Turkish ships.
