Sapientza or Sapienza (Greek: Σαπιέντζα) is a Greek island off the southern coast of the Peloponnese, near the city of Methóni.[1] It is administratively part of the municipality of Pylos-Nestor, in Messenia. The 2011 census reported a population of two inhabitants. Sapientza is the second largest island of the Messenian Oinousses, a small group island which consists of three small islands (Schiza, Sapientza and Agia Marina). Its name is of Italian origin and means wisdom. The Calypso Deep, the deepest point of the Mediterranean Sea at 5,267 metres (17,280 ft), is located south-west of Sapientza.
On the island, there is a big lighthouse which was constructed by English settlers in 1885 and was functioning with the use of mirrors. In the present days, there is no lighthouse-keeper and the lighthouse works with solar power hives, while its light can be seen up to a distance of 28 sea miles.

ΚΑΣΤΡΟ ΜΕΘΩΝΗΣ ΜΕΣΣΗΝΙΑ ~ METHONI CASTLE MESSINIA GREECE
Το Κάστρο της Μεθώνης βρίσκεται στην Πελοπόννησο, στην κωμόπολη Μεθώνη Μεσσηνίας. Από τα σημαντικότερα οχυρωματικά κτίσματα στον Ελληνικό χώρο κατά τον μεσαίωνα .Το 1205 οι Φράγκοι σταυροφόροι αναφέρεται ότι οχύρωσαν την Μεθώνη πρόχειρα και το 1209 οι Ενετοί έφτιαξαν το σημερινό κάστρο και το λιμάνι του τότε οικισμού. Στην αρχαιότητα η Μεθώνη ήταν γνωστή με το όνομα Πήδασος. Ο Όμηρος την αναφέρει ως μία από τις επτά πόλεις που ο Αγαμέμνονας προσέφερε στον Αχιλλέα για να κατευνάσει την οργή του και να τον πείσει να επιστέψει στη μάχη (Ιλιάδα). Ο Παυσανίας και ο Στράβωνας την ονομάζουν Μοθώνη και την ταυτίζουν με την ομηρική πόλη.
Methoni Castle is located in the Peloponnese, in Methoni area of Messinia. One of the most important fortifications in Greek during the Middle Ages. In 1205 the Crusaders say that they were fortified with Mithon and in 1209 the Venetians built the present castle and port of the settlement at that time. In ancient times Methoni was known as Pidasos. Homer is mentioned as one of the seven cities that Agamemnon offered Achilles to temper his indignation and persuade him to return to battle (Eliada). Pausanias and Strabo name Mothoni and identify with the Homeric city.

Methoni (Greek: Μεθώνη, Italian: Modone, Venetian: Modon) is a village and a former municipality in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Pylos-Nestoras, of which it is a municipal unit. Its name may be derived from Mothona, a mythical rock. It is located 11 km south of Pylos and 11 km west of Foinikounta. The municipal unit of Methoni includes the nearby villages of Grizokampos, Finikouda, Foiniki, Lachanada, Varakes, Kainourgio Chorio, Kamaria, Evangelismos and the Oinnoussai Islands. The latter constitutes from Sapientza, Schiza and Santa Marina and forms a natural protection to Methoni harbour. The town is also known by the Italian name Modone, as it was called by the Venetians.
Its economy is dominated by tourism, attracted by its beaches (including Tapia, Kokkinia and Kritika) and its historical castle.
Methoni has been identified as the city Pedasus, that Homer mentions under the name ampeloessa (of vine leaves), as the last of the seven evnaiomena ptoliethra, that Agamemnon offers Achilles in order to subdue his rage. Pausanias knew the city as Mothone, named after either the daughter of Oeneus or after the rock Mothon, which protects the harbor, and mentioned a temple to Athena Anemotis there. The Oinoussai complex of islands protected the port of Methoni and at the same time stopped the large sea turbulence. Along with the rest of Messenia, the town gained its independence from the Spartans in 369 BC. During the 4th century BC, Methoni was elaborately fortified and continued to remain autonomous well into the Imperial Roman era, when it enjoyed the favor of some emperors. As with other mediterranean coastal settlements, Methoni was likely heavily affected by the tsunami that followed the 365 Crete earthquake. Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus wrote that as a result of the earthquake some ships had been hurled nearly two miles from the shore, giving as an example a Laconian vessel that was stranded near the town of Methone. During the Byzantine years it continued to remain a remarkable harbor and one of the most important cities of the Peloponnese, seat of a bishopric.
Nowadays the walls of the fortress, even though in ruins, continue to be impressive. The castle of Methoni occupies the whole area of the cape and the southwestern coast to the small islet that has also been fortified with an octagonal tower and is protected by the sea on its three sides. Its north part, the one that looks to land, is covered by a heavily fortified acropolis. A deep moat separates the castle from the land and communication was achieved by a wooden bridge. The Venetians built on the ancient battlements and added on and repaired it during both periods that they occupied the castle.
