Once you cross the Corinth Canal into the southern part of Greece’s mainland, you’ve reached the Peloponnese Peninsula.
Many flights to Greece bring visitors to this part of the country, where you can visit any number of ancient sites. The natural beauty is staggering with the Taygetos and Parnon mountain ranges dominating the peninsula. Thousands of Athenians flock to the beaches and seaside resorts in the summer months.
The region is also the most important wine-producing part of Greece. Highlights of a visit to the peninsula are Patras, the third-largest city in the country, and Olympia, where the Olympic torch begins its journey before the Olympic Games.
