Even though Finikunda is mainly thought of as a place to relax by the sea and be part of the joyous night life, it also has noted cultural activity. The cultural club always hosts a theatrical play or other event in the small open amphitheatre by the port, and during the whole summer, there is a book exhibition with a variety of books to choose from.

Theatre

The theater companies of Messinia always honour us with their performances at the small but picturesque open theatre, which is at the edge of the harbour in Finikounda. We have also hosted shadow shows, many times, with great success.
