Peloponnese-
The Peloponnese is the large southern region of Greece, shaped rather
like a hand. It's a magical place, a tourist's paradise. It has
everything - the wonderful Venetian town of Nafplio with its three
castles; the fabulous ruins of Epidavros, Mycenae and Tiryns and many
other ancient sites; the glorious remains of the Byzantine hillside
town of Mystras; ancient and modern Sparta under the thrall of the
magnificent Taygetos Mountains; the enigmatic Middle Ages/twenty-first
century working Byzantine town of Monemvasia; the bleak tower towns of
the Mani country and its tiny secluded beauty spots; the northern town
of Diokopto at the foot of the stunning Vouraikos Gorge, where the
rack-and-pinion train track heads up to the ski country... These
pictures will enthral you.
