The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Peloponnese, Greece

July 23, 2021 Trinity Boughner

The Peloponnese (/ˈpɛləpəˌniːz/) or Peloponnesus (/ˌpɛləpəˈniːsəs/; Greek: Πελοπόννησος, Pelopónnēsos) is a peninsula and geographic region in southern Greece. It is separated from the central part of the country by the Isthmus and Gulf of Corinth. During the late Middle Ages and the Ottoman era, the peninsula was known as the Morea (Greek: Μωρέας), a name still in colloquial use in its demotic form (Μωριάς).

The Great Theatre of Epidaurus

An ancient Greek theater built in the third century.

Reviewed By Jellybellydancer - Burscough, United Kingdom

The Peloponnese is not short of magnificent ancient sites and the Theatre of Epidavros is up there with the best of them. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the best preserved ancient structures in existence and is a 'must-do' if you are in this part of the world. The scale of the amphitheatre, which seat up to 14,000 people, is awe-inspiring and it's perfectly true that you can hear a coin drop on the stage from the highest seat. We were treated to an impromptu performance by another visitor, obviously keen to test out this claim about the acoustics, and the applause from the back of the theatre resonated as clearly as that from the front. It is definitely worth climbing up to the top if you can, the steps are a little uneven in places but perfectly manageable. The views from the top are amazing.

Ancient Messini

Reviewed By mikeo229 - Baldock, United Kingdom

Ancient Messini is a little off the beaten track (but quiet as a result) but well worth the visit. Not only does it have two well preserved theatres (a large Amphitheater and small Roman theatre), a large Agora with surrounding buildings, several temples and a host of smaller buildings, a Roman House with good mosaics but also one of the best preserved Stadiums you could ever wish to see. Many columns are still standing, especially around the stadium and the overall setting, surrounded by mountains is simply magnificent. Away from the main site (about 1k past the Museum heading out of town) is a well preserved gate and stretch of wall and, if you turn left just before reaching the gate there is another very well preserved stretch of wall. You need at least 2 hours to visit the main site and allow perhaps 30 minutes to visit the small Museum (included in the 12 Euro entrance fee) and another hour if you want to see the wall and gate. Back in town there is a good Taverna overlooking the site.

Ktima Bairaktaris is located 2 kilometers from the entry of Nemea, just 1 hour from Athens. Under the shadow of the temple of Nemean Zeus, with feeling of respect for the region and responsibility for the conservation of the quality, welcomes the lovers of chosen wine and the selective professionals.

Visited as part of a tour to Nemea with Olive Sea Travel. The tasting was excellent and so informative and we really enjoyed sampling this lovely, modern style of Greek wine - in situ. We toured the facility and then enjoyed an excellent platter of food whilst sampling the wines - perfect.

Caves of Diros

A large underground network of caves full of strangely shaped rock formations.

Reviewed By JohnV801 - Athens, Greece

One of the most beautiful caves I have visited. To start off with the facilities were very well kept, very clean and all Covid measures adhered to. The sheer beauty we encountered during the short boat ride and walk through the cave was really something else. We dwarfed in comparison to the age and beauty of this phenomenon. Stalactites and stalagmites dating back ages in colors of nature that no human hand could achieve. Well worth the trip.

Temple of Apollo

Reviewed By BillPNo1 - Friendswood, United States

The Temple of Apollo is the most visible and obvious monument, in Ancient Corinth. Towering above the ruins of the ancient city, it can be seen from almost any vantage point - something which must have been true even 2,000 years ago. It is impressive, even in its remains and ruins and gives one a sense of just how impressive and monumental it was to the citizens and inhabitants of ancient Corinth. While the worship of the pagan god Apollo has long passed away, the remaining vestiges of his importance at the time are manifest in the magnificent remains of the Temple of Apollo to this day..

Akrokorinthos

Reviewed By wrfloorings - Montreal, Canada

Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. "It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece," in the estimation of George Forrest.[1] Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called "Fetters of Greece" - three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros. Strongly recommended if you like history. Start your day with drinking a lot , I mean a lot of waters.
