Peloponnese Holidays

Peloponnese holidays offer a captivating blend of ancient history, dramatic landscapes and some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. This diverse region, connected to mainland Greece by the Corinth Canal, is steeped in myth and legend and is home to many of the country’s most important archaeological treasures. From the birthplace of the Olympic Games at Olympia to the mighty citadel of Mycenae, the Peloponnese is a dream destination for history lovers.

Beyond its archaeological fame, the Peloponnese is wonderfully scenic. Mountain ranges, olive groves, and fertile valleys give way to a coastline fringed with crystal-clear waters and long, unspoiled beaches. Whether you prefer golden sands, secluded coves or family-friendly shores, Peloponnese holidays deliver a relaxed beach experience without the crowds found on some of Greece’s more famous islands.

Costa Navarino, the prime sustainable destination in the southern Peloponnese, is one of top destinations in the Mediterranean for summer holidays, offering a fantastic combination of luxury and unrivalled beauty. Located a short drive away from Kalamata, Costa Navarino is home to incredible 5-star luxury resorts. Other hidden gems in the Peloponnese include Patras, Porto Heli and Skafidia.

One of the best ways to explore this region is on a fly drive holiday from Athens, crossing the iconic Corinth Canal and travelling at your own pace through traditional villages, historic towns and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Alternatively, you might choose to base yourself in one location and simply unwind, enjoying local cuisine, warm hospitality and laid-back coastal living.
