Who knows all the secrets of the Peloponnese? The answer is no one. This region of Greece has so many hidden charms that you can take a trip to a different place every weekend and still have seen just a little of what it can offer. Today we’ll suggest three places in the Peloponnese that you have to see, even if it’s just for a short trip. We have even chosen locations with diverse character, so as to satisfy any and all preferences. 1) Astros and Paralio Astros Kilometers of clean sandy beach, picturesque houses, a little harbor with fishing boats and mountains with forests all around . . . can you imagine anything better for a relaxing stay? All these are offered by Paralio Astros, a short drive away from its big brother, Astros, that is essentially the focal point of the area. You’ll not go to Paralio Astros for the clubs and the nightlife, but to enjoy the clear waters of its really long beach, to walk along the harbor and the old castle, to take your mind off the difficulties of everyday life. Paralio Astros can be found on the western coast of the Argolic Gulf, across Porto Heli. 2) Lake Stymfalia As we enter the heart of the Peloponnese, a bit after Nemea as we come from Athens, we can find Lake Stymfalia. If there is a place that is connected to the myths of Greece, then that’s Stymfalia, the theater for one of the labors of Hercules. Of course, you won’t go to Stymfalia to trace the course of the hero, though some activities, like archery, refer to him, but to enjoy the impressive natural landscape that is home to hundreds of species of birds and other animals. And since you’re there, we would suggest exploring the mountains of Korinthia, its forests and creaks. Peloponnese Hotels – AKS Hinitsa Bay
