Greece > Peloponnese
The southernmost geographic section of mainland Greece, originally the Peloponnese was an island, but intense geological upheavals in the region twice united and separated it from the mainland. Later, a drop in the sea level formed the Isthmus of Corinth. This land bridge was excavated in the late 19th century to make the Corinth canal, making the Peloponnese an island yet again.

Holidays in Peloponnese
The Peloponnese (Peloponnissos) is a rugged land and in its interior are the highlands. The climate is purely Mediterranean along the coast, unlike the centre, which has a relatively continental climate. A mythical land whose every corner brings to mind some Greek myth, the Peloponnese is composed of images and music, the scents of the sea, of the mountains, of grapes, olives and citrus. The cities, towns and spas of the region were important centers in antiquity and remain so today. With all its history and natural beauty this makes an Ideal Holiday destination for every one.
