Once more, we were convinced that Peloponnisos is a top destination, all year round, and for every kind of activity! Within 5 days, with good friends, we enjoyed Olympia, Ancient Messini, Ancient Thouria (the ancient city of Kalamata), Mani, Gytheion, Mt. Parnon, Nafplion, and Mycenae. Paths, visit of archaeological sites, dirt roads that lead to forgotten castles, and views of the sea and forest every day… we had difficulties to absorb all of these images… The diversity of monuments and nature in Peloponissos is something unique. History? You start in Olympia, you continue in Mani, and you end in Nafplion, the first capital of the modern Greek State… Nature? Voidokilia beach near Pylos, Polylimnio waterfalls, to the snow covered peaks of Taygetos, and from there to the beautiful forests of Mt. Parnon and to the fields of Argolida full of orange trees, smells and colours… And all this in February, being on T-shirts all day!
