Peloponnese peninsula (car required)

Peloponnese is an area that locals prefer for vacations to avoid overcrowded islands.

Below we display a route to discover half of the peninsula!

Nafplio, once the capital of Greece in the early 19th century, is a beautiful town to explore and the surrounding area offers a plethora of interesting places to visit. In Nafplio, you can also get the “dream trail” which sets you on a path through the medieval old town, the Syntagma Square and its numerous historic buildings, right up to Palamidi Castle. A bit outside of Nafplio you can visit the Nemea wine region, the ancient sites of Mycanae and Epidaurus and the resort town of Tolos, (from there it is possible to do a day trip to the Saronic Islands of Spetses and Ydra).

Leonidio, a small, beautiful town located between the sea and the Mount Paron, mostly known for its nature, so it has been quite popular to climbers and adventure enthusiasts.
