Holidays in Greece - Peloponnese (Mani, Messinia & Eastern Peloponnese)





		Home > Destinations > Holidays in Greece > Peloponnese Greece - Peloponnese The Peloponnese remains one of the undiscovered beauties of Greece and has a very distinctive feel. It is unspoiled and wild, rich in mythology and history, and, wherever you visit, you brush against a rich cultural fabric: ancient sites such as Olympia and Sparta, extraordinary medieval castles and fortified towns. • Mani • Messinia • Eastern Peloponnese Fly-drive journeys The Classical Tour • visit ancient sites of Athens, Delphi, Olympia, Mycenae & Epidavros • varied landscapes The Mani Be fascinated by ancient villages with tiny Byzantine churches and distinctive tower houses, and be awed by sweeping views and huge cave systems. There are two distinct parts to the Mani, both worthy of detailed exploration: the lush and fertile Outer Mani, and the dramatic Inner Mani, a wild and untamed land steeped in ancient history.
