There are more than a few people who would consider the Peloponnese the most beautiful region in Greece. It combines the mountains and the sea, the city and the countryside, history and modern living. From its green forests to its amazing beaches, the Peloponnese has countless hidden secrets waiting to be discovered by the visitors. And, to be honest, we highly doubt that there is at least one person who knows every aspect of the region. That’s why today we will suggest you take a road trip in the Peloponnese, a trip that will bring you to as many places as possible, so you can enjoy the magic of the southern Greek mainland. You should know that we will try to ignore the big highways and try to follow the smaller roads. First stop: Porto Heli If you start from Athens, your first stop and overnight stay should be Porto Heli. Especially if your trip takes place during the summer, Porto Heli, with its wonderful beaches and nice little harbor, which also gives you the opportunity to spend a few hours across the sea at Spetses, is ideal to host the beginning of your journey. If you want, you can just relax in this idyllic town or take short drives to Ermioni, Epidaurus, Troizina or Tolo. Second stop: Dimitsana and Karytaina When you’re ready to leave Porto Heli, head west, towards Tripoli, but drive past it and start climbing the mountain towards the historical villages of Dimitsana and Karytaina. The name of Arcadia has been a synonym of paradise for centuries and when you find yourselves in its mountains and forests, you’ll know why. We could suggest that after Porto Heli you can go south to Astros and Leonidio, but for our third stop we have better beaches to show you. Third stop: Olympia and Kaiafas Ancient Olympia belongs to the most important ancient sights in Greece and you’ll be too close not to visit. From there you’ll go south to Kaiafas with its extraordinary lake and long beach, one of the best in the Peloponnese. Here we will let you choose your own route. If you have days to spare, go south to Pylos and Methoni, or north to Patra to take a peak at the more modern Peloponnese. If you feel like continuing with your adventures, cross the bridge at Rio and go towards Mesologgi or Nafpaktos. Greece has so many beautiful places that it’s impossible to see everything.
