Beautiful Coastal & Mountain Driving In Greece - Peloponnese
Today we started in Paralio Astros and drove down the East coast of the Peloponnese to Monemvasia. Along the way there were some AMAZING coastal and mountain views. Monemvasia is a very romantic little town, we didn’t film anything while we were there because we only had a short time and wanted to just enjoy the moment, but we recommend that you check it out if you’re that way.
From Monemvasia we headed inland and drove around the Southern end of the Taygetos Mountains. Tim LOVES mountains so he was in his element, plus he was having a ball driving all the windy roads. It’s a beautiful drive, probably not for those that get easily car sick though!
Our final destination was just outside of Kalamata, a small town called Paralia Vergas, where we checked into an airbnb. We’ll be here for 4 days exploring the Kalamata regions, Taygetos Mountains and of course swimming at all the local beaches!
In total we did 303 kms of driving in one day, through mountains and along the coast! We absolutely did not anticipate covering so much ground in one day, but we didn’t look up how far it was before starting our journey (maybe that was a good thing in the end though!). Even though we could have taken the motorways to get there quicker we preferred the journey we took. We’ve always dreamed of driving through rural Greece and today we did exactly that!

We said goodbye to our jobs, sold all our belongings, and left Australia on a one-way ticket to Shanghai with just each other and our backpacks! We plan to travel the world for a year, see as much as possible, meet as many people as we can, and most importantly MAKE OUR MONEY LAST!

Gorge Drive Route 82 Kalamata To Sparta & Hiking Taygetos Mountains GREECE
Today we’re on a day trip from Kalamata going to Sparta via the gorge road know as Route 82. We’d heard this is an amazing scenic drive with loads of valley views and windy mountain roads, but the reality exceeded our expectations! This was one of the best mountain drives we have ever done!
We made a pit stop at a hillside taverna in Tripi where the views are amazing and the drink portions are generous!
From Sparta there is easy access to hike the Taygetos Mountains, so we used our Bradt guidebook and went on a 2 hour hike starting in the hills above Paroreio and ending back down in Mystras. The trail went past a 14th century cave church, which had beautiful wall frescoes and was a peaceful place to take a break.

Travel to Stemnitsa (Greece) with lamda3 | λ3
Stemnitsa is situated in the slopes of the Mainalo Mountain. While looking down the Gorge of the river Lousios the view towards Stemnitsa seems to be incredible as the beauty of the village in combination with the beauty of nature coexist harmoniously. Known as the country of the Goldsmiths, Stemnitsa was also popular for other crafts. There were fabled and prominent craftsmen like those who were making bells, polishers and steelmakers who over the years were processing silver, gold, and copper. As a result, their craft became legendary in the Balkans. Also, there were confectioners who in the period of the 1990 supplied Peloponnisos with their wrapped syrupy sweets in little bites.
