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.

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.

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.

Visited this beach a couple of times while staying in nearby Pylos. It was recommended to us by the reception staff at our hotel. This is a beautiful long sandy beach and popular with with wind surfers. Not very busy when we were there and we were not charged for using sunbeds and umbrella. Presume they belonged to the nearby beach bar where we did buy drinks on each visit. I would happily return here for a beach based holiday and made a note of some accommodation that was next to the beach for future reference! There is also camping nearby.

This was a bucket list item for me due to my studies - and it did not let me down at all. The history and idea of a mans insight behind this feat of engineering and the human spirit is wonderful and to stand and admire it even more so. Even if you are not history mad - it is worth the stop to consider just what went into this canal and the impact that it has had on the region. Of course there is also some cute little souvenier shops, a great cafe with free toilets that are clean and well maintained. There is a little kebab shop to the very right of the main building (looking at it from the car park) dont miss trying a plate of the chicken kebabs, totally delicious....even if you have just stuffed breakfast down they are a must LOL.

“People say I make strange choices, but they’re not strange for me. My "sickness" is that I’m fascinated by human behavior, by what’s underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people...There are four questions of value in life: What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love....I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you’re on it.” -Johnny Depp
