Vatheia ( ; also Vathia) is a southern Greek village on the Mani Peninsula in southeastern Laconia near the town of Oitylo. It is largely abandoned. Vatheia is known for its hillside tower-houses which overlook the surrounding landscape. Northeast of the village is the Sangias range.
Vatheia is linked by road to Areopoli and Kalamata to its north and Cape Matapan (also known as Tenaro and Tenairon) to the south. Farmland and maquis shrubland cover the hillsides. On the hills and mountainsides around Vatheia proper are clusters of abandoned houses, towers and chapels known as the perichora, meaning "environs".
