The ancient wonders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a big history buff &#8211; or you just love exploring the myths and legends of Ancient Greece &#8211; the Peloponnese region in Greece is the place for you. The region boasts a myriad of iconic archaeological sites that tell the story of Ancient Greece from the Spartans and the Romans to the Venetians and the Ottomans, who all left a legacy of temples, castles, shipwrecks, and cities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s the ancient city-state of Messene, the palace of Nestor in Pylos, and the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, hidden in the mountains of Arcadia. Be sure to visit the Sanctuary of Zeus in Ancient Olympia, where the world\u2019s first Olympic Games were held. There\u2019s also the UNESCO-listed site at Mycenae, once home to the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilisation and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Agamemnon-Greek-mythology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trojan war hero Agamemnon<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdnGm8souWc\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t miss the most famous archaeological site &#8211; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldhistory.org\/epidaurus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus<\/a> and the Shrine of Asclepius, God of Medicine. Built in the 4th Century BC, this theatre is truly magnificent. There are 55 stone rows which can seat 14,000 people and the perfect acoustics mean you can hear every word from the stage, even on the highest row. Whether you explore the site during the daytime or go there for an evening show during the Athens &amp; Epidaurus Festival in the summer, the Peloponnese region is well worth a visit for the Theatre of Epidaurus alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you visit the Peloponnese with Trafalgar, we\u2019ll take you exploring around all the top ancient sites including the Theatre of Epidaurus, Ancient Olympia, and Ancient Mycenae where you\u2019ll see the famous Lion Gate and Agamemnon&#8217;s Royal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/secrets-of-greece-including-corfu?season=summer+2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secrets of Greece including Corfu<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcPbc-mIBqq\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-the-glorious-beaches\"><strong>2. The glorious beaches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We only need one reason to travel to the Peloponnese region in Greece &#8211; the beaches. The spectacular Peloponnese coastline is impressive as any in Greece or the world, with long stretches of unspoiled golden sand and sparkling turquoise waters spanning from the Aegean to the Ionian. It\u2019s all ringed by stunning cliffs, emerald forests, and charming fishing villages making for a picture-perfect scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CSyiKSwI6H7\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So where to dive in first? We love Gialova beach in Navarino Bay and the soft sandy beach in Kaiafas. You also have to see the perfectly curved Voidokilia Bay near Pylos, featured in Homer\u2019s epic Odyssey poem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love to go island-hopping, take a boat to the island oasis of Elafonisos, just off-shore between the Peloponnese and Kythira. With white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters, Elafonisos feels like paradise on earth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/guide-to-greece-everything-need-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our guide to Greece: everything you need to know<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTeNdakIwdh\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-the-charming-towns\"><strong>3. The charming towns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peloponnese peninsula is dotted with stunning towns and villages, where gorgeous architecture and local eats line the cobbled streets. One of our favourites is Napfolio, a beautiful waterfront city home to the Palamidi citadel, and Venetian and Ottoman architecture. You can visit Napfolio on our Greece tours, to explore the Neoclassical mansions and dine in taverns with the locals. You&#8217;ll even sample some homemade ice cream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CbnAGVKAghY\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also Monemvasia, a medieval castle town built in the Middle Ages, with cobbled streets and stone houses. Or you could visit Arcadia, famed for its soaring mountains and local Arcadians, said to be one of the oldest peoples in Greece. From Mystras to Methoni, Pylos to Koroni, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve wandered into the Game of Thrones when you tour the dreamy towns of the Peloponnese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/idyllic-movies-inspire-trip-greece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 idyllic movies to get you inspired for your next trip to Greece<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQYI-7OBeyr\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-outdoor-fun\"><strong>4.

In winter, you can go skiing in the snowy north, while in summer you can rafting on the rivers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNJ0SqFB0ki\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Go hiking along the 225km Peloponnese Way or the 75km Menalon Trail and see all the spectacular nature up close.

The region is one of the oldest wine-making areas in the world, producing delicious wines for over 6,500 years. You can also head to Kalamata in the south for the famous olive groves, home to around 65% of Greece\u2019s olive trees. This is the place where olive trees outnumber people nearly 100 to one, and you can sample world-class olives and olive oil. Or visit Argos for their aromatic citrus groves and Mount Taygetos for an incredible array of herbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKnv6b5hKtV\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also find small family farms across the Peloponnese, producing everything from honey, cheeses, and seafood, to fresh fruit and vegetables like tomatoes and pomegranates.
