It is located on the east coast of the prefecture of Laconia and although it is only 22 km away from the popular Monemvasia, not many people know it. Gerakas has tranquility and authentic beauty, but also a picturesque harbor protected from the winds.

In Byzantine times it was called "Hierax" and was the naval station of the Byzantines to fight the Saracens. The port of Gerakas is also mentioned by Pausanias.
