Peloponnese
Peloponnese – Greece Beyond the Islands
Why Peloponnese?
Greece beyond the islands: The Peloponnese, a vast peninsula southwest of Athens, is one of the country's most authentic and diverse regions. Rugged mountains, traditional stone villages, olive groves, ancient ruins and medieval coastal towns meet crystal-clear waters and beautiful beaches, some with an almost Caribbean feel. Highlights include the wild Mani Peninsula, historic Monemvasia and the stunning coastline of Messinia. Easily reached via Athens or Kalamata, much of the region still feels wonderfully off the beaten track. A beautiful alternative to the Greek islands – authentic, unhurried and perfect for exploring on a tailor-made road trip.
Why is Peloponnese perfect for families?
Space to roam, nature to explore and adventures around every corner: the Peloponnese is ideal for families looking to discover a different side of Greece. Think long sandy beaches with shallow turquoise waters, particularly around Voidokilia and the nearby island of Elafonisos, alongside secluded pebble coves and rocky shores perfect for snorkelling. Add ancient castles, fishing villages, boat trips, hiking trails and family-friendly hideaways with plenty of space to unwind. Exploring by rental car is easy and flexible, with no ferries required to travel around the mainland peninsula. Best of all, beach time, culture and outdoor adventures come together effortlessly.
