Peloponnese, Greece: Rugged Mani Peninsula
More info about travel to the Peloponnese: While most visitors to Greece's Peloponnese enjoy the same tourist stops, a three-hour drive takes you off the beaten path to the timeless and rustic south coast. Its southernmost point, the Mani Peninsula, still harbors remote corners where centuries-old art is tucked away, and where the curious traveler can be alone with a bit of bygone culture.

Giant Huda started out as a spontaneous music project by singer-songwriter, composer, live musician and probably travel addict Josh Houseman (the guy in the video). With the project bringing forth two albums the next natural step was to document the travels and spirit that spawned Giant Huda in the first place with videos. Giant Huda Travels...
Thanks a lot for watching and travel curiously!

Peloponnese, Greece: Magnificent Monemvasia
More info about travel to the Peloponnese: Often referred to as the Gibraltar of Greece, Monemvasia is a virtual showcase of Byzantine, Turkish, and Venetian history dating back to the 13th century. Worth climbing: the steep zigzag path that leads up and up, out of the lower town, to ruins of the fortified upper town, and sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea.
At you'll find money-saving travel tips, small-group tours, guidebooks, TV shows, radio programs, podcasts, and more on this destination.
Messene - Greece HD Travel Channel
After the victory of Thebes over Sparta in 369 BC, Messene was founded by the commander Epaminondas as the capital of Messenia, in order to prevent a regaining strength of Sparta. The city was still inhabited during the Byzantine period. Ancient Messene is located about 18 mi. north of the foundation of the modern era. The excavations took place only recently and are still ongoing. Significant is the Asclepieion, an ancient sanitarium with a large inner courtyard enclosed by columns.
Here you can watch the archaeologists and conservators at work. In the video you see Italian students under the guidance of their professor just excavating a grave and examining the newly discovered skull.
A special feature is the exposed Messene treasure room - the safe of the city -- where gold and silver was stored. Recently, the magnificent Ekklesiasterion was excavated. In former times it was used as for political meetings.
The monumental stadium, bordered on three sides with rows of erected pillars, is one of the most beautiful and best preserved in Greece. The gigantic city wall - once 5.6 mi. long - is broken by the colossal Arcadian gate with its own interior.

please read more:
Messene wurde nach dem Sieg Thebens über Sparta 369 v. Chr vom Feldherrn Epaminondas als Hauptstadt Messeniens gegründet, um ein Wiedererstarken Spartas zu behindern. Die Stadt war noch in byzantinischer Zeit bewohnt. Das antike Messene liegt ca. 30 km nördlich der Gründung aus der Neuzeit. Die Ausgrabungen fanden erst in jüngster Zeit statt und sind noch immer nicht abgeschlossen. Bedeutsam ist das Asklepieion, ein antikes Sanatorium mit großem, von Säulen umschlossenem Innenhof.
Hier kann man den Archäologen und Restaurateuren unmittelbar bei ihrer Arbeit zusehen. Italienische Studenten, unter Leitung ihres Professors, legen soeben ein Grab frei und begutachten den neu entdeckten Schädel.
Eine Besonderheit in Messene ist der freigelegte Schatzraum, praktisch der Safe der Stadt, in dem Gold und Silber aufbewahrt wurde. In jüngster Zeit wurde das prächtige Ekklesiasterion freigelegt, ein Veranstaltungsort, der auch für politische Treffen genutzt wurde.
Das monumentale Stadion, eingefasst an drei Seiten mit aufgerichteten Säulenreihen, gehört zu den Schönsten und Besterhaltenen Griechenlands. Die riesige Stadtmauer, einst 9 km lang, wird durch das kolossale Arkadische Tor mit eigenem Innenraum durchbrochen.
