Greece, my favorite European country! The Peloponnese is by far my favorite part of Greece. It is less crowded and a lot cheaper than the famous islands. You can still find many authentic villages and incredible beaches. Visit the most relevant national archeological sites and breathtaking monasteries. It is a great region to go hiking and exploring the many waterfalls. We always rent a car and go on a road trip through the vineyards, olive and orange trees. Here’s my Peloponnese Travel Guide including what you can’t miss when you go there and where to eat and stay.

The Peloponnese is a large peninsula located in southern Greece, connected to the mainland by the Isthmus of Corinth. It is known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and ancient ruins.
