Peloponnese - the southernmost region of the mainland Greece. Little is on sale in the Russian market, although here is a very clean sea and beautiful nature. The main disadvantages are the absence of large resorts (usually these are scattered hotels or apartments) and an expensive transfer due to the distance from the airport. There are much fewer hotels here than at other resorts. Nevertheless, there are hotels belonging to famous Greek "chains", including large complexes Aldemar and Grecotel on the west coast.
The most attractive side of the Peloponnese is its vast historical heritage, an abundance of attractions. The excursion program here can be very interesting. In addition, it is quite convenient to make one-day excursions to other parts of Greece from the peninsula.
The peninsula is divided into seven prefectures: Argolida (administrative center - Nafplion), Arcadia, Achaea, Elias, Corinthia, Laconia and Messinia. All seven regions have access to the sea and their beaches, details of which are below. The capital city is Corinth.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions
According to the Peloponnese you can study the history of Ancient Greece, it is one of the richest in the sights of the regions of the country. For example, Mycenae is the center of the most ancient civilization of the planet, where the ruins of the palace with the legendary Lion's Gates still survive. Or the same Sparta, the birthplace of 300 Spartans, the strongest in spirit and body of the inhabitants of Ancient Greece. Olympia is known as the progenitor of the Olympic Games. Today, you can see the same ancient stadium that hosted the first athletes.
Noteworthy and the city of Corinth, gave the world Corinthian columns, decorating today not only the ancient columns, but also modern mansions. In the Epidaurus the theatricals that have fallen under the influence of the Melpomene flock to the pilgrimage: it is in Epidaurus that the oldest theater in the country is located, whose acoustics still amaze the minds of architects and engineers - the ringing from the fallen coin in the center of the scene is heard even for 60 m in the back rows. @ Photo of the Peloponnese (48)
