The main square of Tripolis is massive, filled with many cafes/restaurants and the massive monument to Theodoros Kolokotronis. Plenty of parking spots around the square makes it easy to stop off and enjoy a walk around the city centre or shopping in the main shopping mall precinct.

If you stay in Tripoli, take time to visit the war museum. It is in the city centre and is a perfect illustration of the central role a Tripoli played during the war of independence. The photographic evidence about WW2 is particularly moving

The Troupis Winery is located in the heart of the Mantineia vineyards at an altitude of 700 m. in the area known as Fteri. It is a modern family business of small capacity as it is exclusively involved with producing and bottling wine from the family’s privately-owned vineyards (approximately 80 stremmas) which they lovingly tend and cultivate.

Shop like the Greeks, who are saving during the Eurozone crisis. Go to your Farmer’s Market near to your hotel.The Farmer’s Market, or Laiki Agora in Tripoli, Greece on Sunday is unforgettable.” Organic products, fresh from local Gardens, are the attraction. The markets resemble those shown in movies. They are also cheaper than the local stores and supermarkets.
Tthe oranges, apples and fruits being sold were colorful, ripe and unique. Geraniums, plants, red tomatoes attracted our attention. Ripe cherries were offered at 3 euros a kilo (2.2 pounds). Ripe, red strawberries were sold for 1.50 euros per carton. Rows of bananas and kiwis on stands were offered.The freshly killed chickens and roosters “as is” is a sight rarely seen in the U.S.
The booklet “Arcadian Earth’, published by the City of Tripoli describes the region’s agricultural products. “Tripoli's delicious apples are becoming popular,” it states. “Delicious apples of Tripoli are a unique Greek variety. The Arcadian earth only produces this variety that has a protective status. Garlic has been produced from antiquity. It grows abundantly, with a unique aroma that is still coveted in our current time. They are sold in farmers market, and establishments all over Greece.
Crystal pears of Tripoli grown on the planes of the Mainalos Mountains are cultivated with dedication and attention. Tsakonika pears are from the same variety. The Mantinea Crystal pears stands out because of its unique flavor and sweetness that comes from the Mantinea soil. Garden vegetables are in demand in the Greek cities. The vegetables are harvested and shipped early in the morning to the major urban centers of Greece. The mountainous soil gives vegetables an aromatic flavor.”

Ο Μητροπολιτικός Ιερός Ναός του Αγίου Βασιλείου χτίστηκε στις αρχές του 20ού αιώνα και αποτελεί ένα εξαιρετικό από αρχιτεκτονική άποψη οικοδόμημα που δεσπόζει στην κεντρική πλατεία της Τριπόλης. Είναι μοναδικός, γιατί διαθέτει μια σπάνια ιδιαιτερότητα: ο ναός δεν εδράζεται στο ισόγειο της ναοδομής, αλλά στον δεύτερο όροφο, πάνω από δώδεκα ισόγεια καταστήματα, που αρχικά σχεδιάστηκαν για να λειτουργήσουν ως παρεκκλήσια, αλλά τελικά φιλοξένησαν ισάριθμες εμπορικές επιχειρήσεις και διάφορα γραφεία της Μητρόπολης. Σήμερα ο ναός έχει υποστεί συνολική συντήρηση και αποκατάσταση της αρχικής αρχιτεκτονικής του μορφής, εσωτερικά και εξωτερικά. Τα καταστήματα στην πρόσοψη του ναού έχουν πλέον αμιγώς λατρευτική και ποιμαντική χρήση.

We were delighted to have been welcomed to this family winery whilst staying in the local area on holiday. Although not open to the public, the family very generously allowed us to visit for a private tour of their production facilities and to sit down with them to taste their white and rosé wines and learn all about the Mochofilero grape and the intricacies of wine-making in this region. We shared a fabulously relaxed and informal 2.5 hours with Sotiris, Katerina and Konstantinos (brothers and sister) and are so grateful to them for giving up their time to share some true Greek hospitality with us. This has been the highlight of our trip and we look forward to enjoying more of their wine when we get home, but are sad that we could only fit a few bottles in our suitcase as it is not currently available to buy in the U.K... we hope this will change in the future! We would definitely recommend their wines and, if you have the opportunity, an informal and very interesting tour/visit and tasting session with a lovely Greek family. Thank you :)
9. Mouchli Castle

The castle was built by the Byzantine general Andronikos Asan after the destruction of Nikli in 1294. It soon became one of the most important fortress-states of Peloponnese. In 1458 Mouchli was besieged by the Ottomans of Mohamed II the Conqueror. The Turks cut the water supply and the lord of the castle Dimitris Asanis had no choice but to surrender after some days. Mouchli was destroyed completely and the course of the city and of the fortress ended too. Mouchli which today is in difficult-to-spot runs close to the old National Road from Argos to Tripoli with hardly much to see if spotted with a sharpe eye.
