Top Tips to Make The Most Out of Your Tailor Made Tours in Peloponnese

From the ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in Argolis famed for its seamless acoustics and fine architecture to original site of the ancient Olympic Games or the wonderful Venetian city of Nafplio, Peloponnese is a playground of staggering family friendly historical sites.

Walk the isolated yet hospitable villages, explore the ruins of the Byzantine and Venetian empires or stimulate an adrenaline rush hiking through the mountains of Acradia; there's no shortage of things family vacationists can do to make tailor made tours unforgettable.

Inspired from some of the best family travel experiences, we bring you a short guide for creating outstanding tailor made tours in Peloponnese. Let's take a glance.

Stroll the captivating beaches

The best beaches in the country are located in the southern side of Peloponnese particularly in Messenia. Voidokilia, Kalamata and Zagaare some of the most stunning beaches that sit aside striking archaeological sites and boast picturesque landscapes.

Mavrovouniin Gythio is another popular beach in the southern region which is widely known for its long coastline covered with soft sand, clean surrounding and family friendly facilities.

The archaeological site of Olympia

If you're travelling with older kids, a visit to Olympia is worth a shot. With the ruins of the original Olympic stadium, the great Archaeological Museum and old temples of Zeus and Hera, visiting Olympia is a travel to the Olympic Games in ancient times and legendary past.

A Jaunt to Nafplio

The much talked about Peloponnesian town is imbued with Greek grace and historical treasures. From a distinct setting on the Gulf of Argos and a breath-taking waterfront to narrow streets line with magnificent churches, old dwellings and mosques, Nafplio amazes you every second every corner once you set your foot in.

Unveil the best kept secrets of Polylimnio

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there lay in the dense woods of Messenia, the spectacular Polylimnio Waterfalls. Hike and climb your way around and you would spot a string of incredibly beautiful, small lakes collecting fresh, cold mountain waters. Climb up the rocks, jump off the cliffs into deep waters or just sit there relaxed watching other people do the same.

A walk to the past

Peloponnese boasts a fair share of Greece's best archaeological sites that are ideal for family visits. Mycenae, Mani and Mystras are some of the most-preserved places that exhibit traditional architectures, rich art and culture and heritage sites of Greek civilisation.

To Summarise,

While the above mentioned sites and attractions offer fun, history, nature and adventure galore, a family expedition doesn't feel complete unless you have enjoyed authentic local cuisine, a comfort stay with luxury amenities and a bunch of family adventure activities. Does it?
