The Greek Peloponnese
The Peloponnese is a paradise and a favorite with tourists from around the world, who come there to discover its charms and natural wilderness. Located in the southern part of Greece, this peninsula is separated from the territory by the Corinth Canal.
High mountains, rocky areas, beaches, clear waters and virgin forests dominate the landscape. Its shores are washed by the Aegean Sea, Mediterranean and Ionian, which mixed with the naturalness and warmth of its people make the coast of the Peloponnese a unique place.
It is considered the cradle of modern Greece (it was in this region which gave birth to the War of Independence in 1821), which is materialized in the ruins and monuments that still remain in place, belonging to old civilizations that settled there . Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, is a clear example of this, and all visitors are in it, a quirky charm marked by the past still breathes in the present of this beautiful area.
The main attractions of the Peloponnese are: the Archaeological Museum of Sparta, Mycenae, the ruins of Mystras, Corinth and Nafplion among many, all of which are easily accessible using public transport or by car rental, half common used by visitors.
