Malia Vgethi (Μάλια Βγέθι, Albanian name) is a 626 meter high volcanic dome on the Methana peninsula in Greece . At its foot lies the village of Kameni Chora with its much smaller, historical volcano. The Malia Vgethi volcano was active about 150,000 years ago and consists almost entirely of dacite .
It is difficult to climb, and if so, only from the Agios Sotiros chapel. The Malia Vgethi volcano is one of the most impressive volcanoes in the Saronic Gulf and one of over 30 on Methana.
