This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above except those operated by Ryanair. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

A wonderful, relaxed holiday. We having been planning to do this one for ages and it lived up to expectations. The archaeological sites were fantastic as were the museums at Mycenae and Nafplio and the small museum in Sparta. I loved the mingling of myth and history. Our favourite hotel was the Notos Hotel Apartments at Kardamyli - waking up to the sun on the sea with a breakfast of Greek yoghurt, figs, honey and freshly squeezed orange juice on the balcony. What could be nicer! We spent a night in Athens on our way home and my husband had his wallet stolen by a very professional gang of thieves on the metro from central Athens to the Airport - it might be worth including a warning to future travellers. (The wallet had been inside a zipped trouser pocket and attached with a split ring and a clasp to a ring sewn in to the trousers!)
Excellent holiday with a good mix of history and hiking. Walking notes and suggestions for places to visit very helpful. Excellent driving directions made it easy to drive to the various locations. Accommodation very good. We enjoyed the restaurants at the front in Nafplion and also Kastro Karima, one street level down from the hotel. In Kardamili we enjoyed all three of your recommendations, particularly Elies Restaurant with well cooked delicious food. In all, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday from start to finish.
There were many highlights! The flowers were profuse wherever we went and the countryside was green - a highlight of going in May. A well designed holiday because the four locations were very different. We appreciated the contrasts of the classical and medieval ruins. We enjoyed the superb food in family-run restaurants. Your recommendations were good.

An additional assistance for first time travellers to the Peloponnese would have been a tour guide book. We found that identifying options to travel to without a tour guide book, were difficult to achieve.
This holiday exceeded all our expectations. Meandering through the Peloponnese is a memory we will always treasure. The beauty of the countryside and the hospitality of the Greek people is second to none. It seems that there is a 'wowee' archaeological site around every corner. One piece of advice is that the cobbled streets of Monemvasia are challenging for the elderly or those with mobility problems but there are men with trolleys who, for five Euros, will take your luggage to your hotel and even to your room.
