The Peloponnese Peninsula is divided into seven regions: In the far north, you will find the region of Achaia with its famous ferry port of Patras.
To the northeast lies the region of Corinth, home to the world-famous Corinth Canal. In the nearby village of Nemea you can taste and buy some of the best Greek wines.
To the southeast lies the region of Argolis, where Nafplio, one of the most beautiful cities in Greece, is located. Moreover, in this region you will find a number of impressive archaeological sites such as Mycenae.
Arcadia forms the central region of the Peloponnese and is largely mountainous. The highest peaks reach almost 1,900 m above sea level – an ideal destination for your hiking tour on the Peloponnese.
In the southwest of the peninsula is the sparsely populated region of Laconia, home to the two peninsulas of Maleas and Mani. Jutting out far into the sea, these two peninsulas are among the southernmost points of mainland Europe. In addition, their landscapes are breathtaking.
In the southwest of the Peloponnese lies Messenia. This is a water-rich and fertile region where oranges, lemons, almonds, figs, and olives are still grown in abundance.
The Elis region is located in the west of the Peloponnese. In Elis you will be amazed by the extensive sandy beaches and by ancient Olympia, which is considered the cradle of the Olympic Games.
