Cape Kalo Koumbaro

Kalo Koumbaro ( Greek Καλός Κουμπάρος 'good best man') is a small cape on the northwest corner of the Methana peninsula in the Peloponnese , which is characterized by vineyards and fig cultivation.

This cape is interesting because of its proximity to the historic volcanic eruption on Methana around 230 BC. Even today, the fields and limestone rocks are covered with a layer of approx. 2-4 m thick pieces of lapilli and pumice , which probably originate from an undersea volcanic eruption off the northwest coast of Methana. Shortly before you reach Cape Kalo Koumbaro, there are numerous caves filled with lava in the karst mountains , which were probably the exit points for numerous small lava flows. This region continues to be an area potentially at risk from volcanic eruptions within a radius of approx. 3–5 km .
