thumb | right | Tigani peninsula, Greece. Tigani (Τηγάνι) is a small peninsula in the landscape of Mani in southern Greece. The name is Greek for "frying pan". Tigani is surrounded by the sea except for a narrow strip of land that connects to the mainland. The ruins of a probable crusader castle can be found there. The castle's position and its walls made it extremely hard to capture.
