East Mani (Greek: Ανατολική Μάνη - Anatolikí Máni) is a municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Its seat of administration is the town Gytheio (before 2011 the small town Kotronas).[2] It is a mountainous and rocky area. Its economy relies on fishing, olive oil and tourism.[citation needed]

East Mani comprises the southeastern part of the geographic and historical region of the Mani Peninsula, also known as Laconian Mani (Λακωνική Μάνη) or Inner Mani (Μέσα Μάνη), in juxtaposition with the northeastern part of Mani (Messenian or Outer Mani), which is covered by the municipality of West Mani.
