If you are looking for a luxury Greek holiday, then Peloponnese might be the destination for you. Here you will find the scent of lemon, orange and olive groves permeating the air in the land known as Peloponnese, separated from mainland Greece by only the Corinth Canal, it was actually the birthplace of the Olympic Games and has plenty of sight-seeing wonders from its centuries of history that is waiting to be discovered.
Be enchanted by the golden sand beaches, the spectacular Mani Mountains and the secretive Cani Coves. Peloponnese offers you relaxing days on its glistening beaches surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Aegean and Ionian seas, or a chance to explore the ancient cities of Mycenae and Pylos.
Travel to the heart of Peloponnese where you will discover Arcadia, a place perfect for nature lovers. This beautiful region boasts some of the most stunning landscapes of Greece, from towering mountain peaks, elaborate forests to luscious vegetation.
