The Calypso Deep, the deepest point of the Mediterranean Sea at 5,267 metres (17,280 ft), is located south-west of Sapientza.

Sapientza has lush vegetation with dense shrubland and perennial hollies, arbutus and other Mediterranean plants.

It is the only place in the world where the arbutus turn into trees, as they have also formed an entire forest known as ' Kumarodasos' which extends over 240 acres.

With this treaty Methoni and Corone remained under Venetian rule and the remainder of the Peloponnese was ceded to Villehardouin.

Nevertheless, the British claimed Sapienza during the Pacifico case, as part of the United States of the Ionian Islands.
