The village of Logga is 42 km away from Kalamata and is built at an altitude of 95 meters. There are various versions as far as the name of the village is concerned. During the Middle Ages, the word "logga" meant "fortified place", while in Latin the word "longus" means "black", perhaps because it was far from the sea. According to others, the name of the village comes from the name of the Turkish commander of the Logga region or from the ancient Greek word "loggasion" which means "chopped or carved stone that is used to moor ships in the port".
According to emperor Andronikos, Logga is mentioned from the time of the Saracens of Crete. During the Frankish period, it was occupied by the Venetians, often constituting the dividing line between the Franks and the Venetians. Near the river, in fact, the existence of a watchtower is mentioned. During the Turkish occupation, the people of Mani wanted to fortify themselves in the tower of Logga to stop Ibrahim, who finally destroyed the village on February 21st-22nd, 1827 by burning the olive groves of the area.
In the village of Logga, the visitor can travel through time wandering among the traditional stone houses, the mansions and the old wood ovens.
