Oitylo

Oitylo (Greek: Οίτυλο) is one of the oldest towns in Mani. It was mentioned in the Illiad by Homer. In the Middle Ages, Oitylo grew to become the most important town in Messenian Mani. The only town in Mani that rivalled Oitylos in numbers of pirates was Skoutari. Now Areopoli has taken Oitylo's place as most important town in Messenian Mani. Areopoli is also the seat of the municipality of Oitylo.
