Altomira

Altomira (Greek: Αλτομιρά) is a mountain village in the municipal unit of Avia, Messenia, Greece.

Many of its residents only live here during the summer months.

Altomira lies on the western slope of the Taygetus mountains, 7 km from the sea.

Altomira was mentioned for the first time in 1618 with 20 families.

Until 1998, when it became part of Avia again, it was an independent community.
