Peloponnese

THE MYTHICAL SOUTH

With a rich history and landscape, the Peloponnese region is a year-round travel destination. Messinia, Elafonisos, Monemvasia, Mani, Porto Heli, Kalavryta, and Nafplio are authentic natural beauty destinations, each with its own distinctive features, ready to welcome you all year round. It is the land of Ancient Sparta, the Olympic Games' birthplace, and the home of the sacred olive grove. The cities and countryside villages of one of the most beautiful destinations on the Greek mainland are steeped in war, peace, and culture. Here, ancient ruins, such as the ancient theater of Epidaurus and the Asclepius - Unesco World Heritage Site, are scattered across the landscape. The Peloponnese will surprise you with its diversity. Majestic mountains, embraced by a dramatic golden coast with endless beaches and exotic coves. It's a road-tripper's paradise for drives on winding roads that vanish into the horizon, with pure, unspoiled landscapes, colorful waters, and green valleys. Its coastal and alpine villages will enchant you with their ancient rituals and extraordinary food. You will be transported to another time in the presence of the ancient monuments, resplendent medieval Venetian and Byzantine castles, and the hamlets built of stone.
