Mathia, Messinia

Mathia is a small village located near the top of the Mount Lycodimos. It is part of the city of Petalidi Prefecture of Messinia, in Greece just 7 kilometres from the coastline. Under the Ottoman Occupation it was referred as Draga. Pirates had destroyed its original location.

In the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the legendary Captain Davis Triantafillopoulos and his heroic men destroyed the Turkish army. His monument stands in the village's entrance, as a reminder to the new generations.
