The northern part of the penisnula is of volcanic origin. About 30 volcanic domes have been identified throughout Methana. Most of the volcanic cones are located in the center of the peninsula, around the village of Kameni Chora.

The Methana peninsula has several scattered settlements and many small archaeological sites. The largest settlement of the area, Methana, is known for its thermal baths.
