The resort is situated on the south coast of Greece's Peloponnese peninsula. Locals call the peninsula - joined to the Greek mainland by a small strip of land - the “Mani”.

Among day trips from Stoupa when you fancy a change of scenery are the underground waterways of the Caves of Diros or the fortress town of Methoni.
