Porto Kagio

Porto Kagio or Porto Káyio (Greek: Πόρτο Κάγιο; Turkish: Portokale) is a seaside village in the East Mani municipality on the eastern side of the Mani Peninsula, Greece.

It faces a small bay off the Laconian Gulf and is about three miles north of Cape Matapan, the southernmost tip of the Mani Peninsula and of mainland Greece.

The site was that of the ancient port of Psamathous, mentioned by Pausanias.

[2] The Ottomans built a castle here in about 1568, to protect the port, which was used for galleys patrolling the Kythera Channel.

[2] In World War II, Porto Kagio was a place where many British soldiers escaped to Egypt.
