Separated from mainland Greece by the Corinth Canal, the Peloponnese peninsula, also known as Moreas, is the ideal location for water sports and outdoor activities.

What to see in the Peloponnese

Known internationally for its olives and with a history dating back to the time of Homer, Kalamata is an ideal place to book a holiday home or rent a holiday house in the Peloponnese. This modern and vibrant city is also home to historic attractions such as the Frankish castle situated beneath its historic old town and the archaeological museum on Benaki Street. A holiday apartment will give you the flexibility to enjoy swimming and sunbathing at Polylimnia, which is famous for its rock pools. The Mani region is a popular destination for holiday rentals among walkers who are drawn to its vast network of ancient kalderimis (stone paths used for mules). The most enjoyable route starts from Sotirianika at the Agios Nikolaos church and ends in the town of Kambos. Along the way, you can take pictures of an 18th century stone bridge and have picnic at the romantic Koskaraka Gorge. The picturesque area around Mount Taygetos in Mani features long, deep gorges such as those at Rindomo and Viros. With a holiday apartment, holiday house or holiday rental in the area you will also be able to explore nearby villages such as Pedino and Zacharias.
