The town's name is derived from the Greek god of war, Ares, which reflects the fierce and proud past of its inhabitants.
Areopoli is known for its traditional architecture, characterized by stone tower houses, narrow cobbled streets, and charming squares. These gray limestone houses with small windows and robust construction are typical of the Mani and reflect the defensive attitude of the Maniots, who had to fend off attacks for centuries.
