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.

Arcadian village North Kynouria Greece
Arcadian village North Kynouria Greece
Arcadian Village, Peloponnese | best of Greece - Αρκαδικό Χωριό, Κυνουρία
Arcadian Village: Passing Agios Andreas village, on the way to Leonidio, you will find Arkadiko Village, an integrated model settlement at Little Pepontina.
The road just before Arcadia village to Tyro and Leonidio is impressive. On your right rises the mountain of Parnonas while on yourleft stretches the Kynouriaki coast with sandy beaches, small coves and beautiful peninsulas. Arcadia Village was created as part of a major program of holiday villages set up in order to reconnect expatriates with their places of origin.
Arcadian Village is a settlement in the province of Northern Kynouria of Arcadia. It is built on a peninsula in Mikri Peponta, after the village of Agios Andreas on the way to Leonidio. To its west is the mountain range of Parnon. It is 55 km east of Tripoli, 45 km south of Nafplio, 12 km south of Astros and 33 km north of Leonidio.
It is a model and self-contained settlement that was captured as an idea in the early 1980s by American Arcadians and began to be realized at the end. It was part of a national pilot project aimed at reconnecting Greeks abroad with their place of origin through the creation of holiday homes. In the final phase of the program, 300-350 houses, a hotel, a conference center, sports facilities and other facilities were planned to be constructed, but the Greek debt crisis has put its end in doubt. Arcadia is known for its handmade hilopites (a type of noodle) and trahana (rustic pasta), sold in shops along with other traditional products, like the region’s honey, chestnuts and delicious, seedless Tsakonian eggplants.
Timeless scenic villages, ancient monuments, mediaeval castles, rich history, natural beauty and spectacular beaches make the Peloponnese a year-round holiday destination
The Peloponnese is a destination for all seasons, with a rich history and a rich landscape. Destinations of authentic natural beauty, each with their own distinctive characteristics, eager to welcome you all year long; Messinia, Elafonisos, Monemvasia, Mani, Porto Heli, Kalavryta and Nafplio. It’s the land of ancient Sparta, home of the holy olive grove and the birthplace of the Olympic Games. War, peace and culture saturate the cities and countryside of one of the most beautiful destinations of mainland Greece, the Peloponnese. Here, ancient monuments and impressive attractions are scattered throughout the landscape.
You’ll visit the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, and next to it the Asclepius (a Unesco World Heritage Site). The Peloponnese is a celebration of contrasts; majestic mountains embraced by a dramatic, golden coastline of endless beaches and exotic coves. Pure, unspoilt landscapes, technicolour water and fertile valleys are all just a short car-ride away. Road-trippers and landlubbers never tire of its winding roads that disappear into the horizon, where sea and sky become one. Its villages, both seaside and alpine, will enchant you with their age-old traditions and exceptional food. You’ll be transported to another time wandering through ancient monuments and resplendent mediaeval Venetian and Byzantine castles. Then rest-up for the big days ahead at traditional guest villas in stone-built hamlets and modern luxurious resorts, with their 5-star service and modern day amenities.
A gilded coastline: exotic beaches and picture-perfect bays
The coastline of the Peloponnese hides spectacular sandy beaches with crystal-clear water. Award-worthy are exotic Elafonisos and Voidokoilia in Messinia. Other notable beaches are those in the Gulf of Messinia, Kardamyli, as well as Old Epidaurus and Porto Heli.
A journey through history and ancient civilisations
In the Peloponnese you’ll experience the grandeur of Ancient Greece. You’ll stand awestruck in Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, tour Homer’s ‘gold-rich Mycenae’. You’ll catch a sensational performance at the famous ancient theatre of Epidaurus and visit the Asclepius. You’ll discover the temple of Apollo Epikourios at Basses (Bassae), created by the same architect that built the Parthenon, and marvel at Iktinos, another Unesco World Heritage Site. The Peloponnese is a living lesson in mediaeval and Byzantine architecture, particularly the well-preserved castle of Mystra in Sparta and the castles in Methoni and Pylos.
Peloponnese: paradise for activities in nature
The Peloponnese is a paradise for thrill seekers and adventure lovers. There are numerous opportunities for off-roading, driving, hiking and rock climbing in the Taygetos Mountains. The European long-distance hiking trail, E4, passes through here, and there are dozens of other signposted paths in every area. The more courageous will want to head to Lagada that has a rock climbing park.

Palamidi Castle - Part 1, Nafplio, Peloponnese, Greece, 5/27/2011
I took a day trip to Nafplio (Ναύπλιο), about 1.5 hours by bus south of Corinth. It was the first capital of modern Greece from 1821 to 1834, when it gained independence from the Ottoman Empire. The town is relatively unknown to tourists, but it offers some of the best scenery you could find anywhere, and is truly a hidden gem in terms of beauty and splendor.
Arguably the most well-known sight in Nafplio is the Palamidi Castle, located on the top of a 217-meter hill. It was built by the Venetians during the late 17th century and was originally used as a military fortress, consisting of eight bastions, each of them self-contained. This ensures that if any one of them was fallen, the others could still be defended. Later it was turned into a prison for condemned prisoners.
I'm climbing up from the southern side of the hill, which according to legend has exactly 999 steps to reach the top. I lost count after about 130 steps. Here I'm about one third way up, and already it gives a great view of the town of Napflio and the Argolic Gulf.
