If you're looking through getaways to warm climes where you have the opportunity to see some stunning landscape vistas and explore world famous ruins, Greek holidays to the Peloponnese could be the ideal choice. A large peninsula, the region is technically an island and is made up of a number of sections. Regardless of whereabouts you choose to visit in the Peloponnese, you'll discover each part has its own unique attractions. The region has vast and captivating landscapes as well as all manner of historical sites. A great place to make your base for a Greek holiday here is the resort of Tolon, from where you'll find coaches and boats run to sights of interest on a daily basis. Once you've made yourself at home in your accommodation, you might want to get outside and start exploring the area. If you travel to the north you'll discover a wealth of ancient locations you may have only previously read about. Find out more about the area's past by visiting sites such as Corinth, where you can take in the remains of the renowned Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Octavia. Journey on to Olympia to the site of the original ancient Olympic Games and take an informative walk around Hera's and Zeus' respective temples, or perhaps you'd prefer to visit the ancient theatre and Heraion at Argos. In the south Peloponnese you'll find far fewer archaeological sites, but some truly beautiful landscapes that more than compensate. You're sure to love wandering through the open scenery and visiting the caves and hilltop castles that dot the region. If you make your way to the west, you'll find some picturesque and uncrowded beaches, as well as the fortified towns of Koroni and Methoni, while the north-west coast is ideal if you're looking to visit some pretty villages such as Kardamili or view the large fortified rock of Monemvasia. Meanwhile, if you'd like to take in some really spectacular sights, visit the commanding Taygetus mountain range in the central peninsula of Mani. The peaks overlook the cities of Sparta and Kalamata, giving you plenty of places to explore during your holiday in Greece. Greek holidays are a perfect way to spend a summer break and with so many holiday offers to choose from, you're sure to find something that appeals to you.
