| WHY GO |
| Although Greece is a long-standing favourite with tourists, it remains substantially undiscovered. The vast majority of visitors head straight for the islands, with perhaps only a brief stopover in Athens. The most bewitching and rewarding parts of Greece however, are to be found on the mainland, and there is nowhere more thrilling and interesting then the Peloponnese. Separated from the main body of the country by the Corinth Canal for 100 years, the Peloponnese is the heart of ancient Greece and the birthplace of the Olympic Games. One of the greatest draws of this region is the rich layers of history. This area boasts some of the most magnificent and haunting monuments of the Byzantine Empire. Visit off-season, in early summer or late spring to see all the sights without the tourist crowds. |
