Peloponnese

The Peloponnese peninsula in Southern Greece, apart from being one of the most varied landscapes in Greece is home to archaeological and historical gems such as the Ancient site of Olympia, Mystra, Sparta, Monemvasia, Gytheio, Kalavrita, Kalamata and of course Epidavros and Myceanae.

The Peloponnese has played a very important role over the years in the many wars and occupations of Greece and in this way its monuments sites and castles are of great historical interest. Mycenae for example is famous for a whole era and is found just 40 minutes away from Tolo. The Ancient site of Olympia and running track are legendary, as is the Ancient site of Nemea along with its famous wine roads at just half an hour away.

The Peloponnese is part of the mainland of Greece and is separated only by the Corinth canal - a wonderful sight in itself and an excellent excursion to take a boat through the canal. The countryside of the Peloponnese is diverse and has something to offer to everyone whether it be the amazing sandy beaches, high mountains and ski resorts in the winter, amazing flora and fauna, the rare bird species, or the friendly disposition of the Peloponnesians.

Culture, history, holidays and warm climate are what attract thousands of visitors every year to the Peloponnese.
