Maps and trails

The Peloponnese is located in the south of Greece. It is a mountainous region covered by forests, especially in the central part of the Peninsula (Arcadia, east of Messenia and north of Laconia). The highest peak is Mt. Taygetos (Profitis Ilias) located in Laconia with a hight of 2404 m. , often chosen as touristic outdoor destination because of the challenge of this rocky hike and the stunning view over both land and sea. Furthermore, the many valleys and rivers immersed in magical forests on one side and beaches with crystal water on the other, create unique views and sceneries, making Peloponnese a natural multifaceted land with various possible outdoor activities in nature. Historical sites are also the core of this land. Many fortresses, temples, old towns, harbours and old paths can be found all over the peninsula, raging from the Archaic period of ancient Greece to the Greek War of Independence.

Never-ending stories

Sparta, Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus are only few famous names that already suggest the potential of this region. Hike on the ancient Acropolis of Corinth, watch breathtaking sunsets from the magnificent theater of Epidaurus, visit the great Mycenae and its archeological site and finally retrace the myths and legends around the fierce Spartans. Furthermore, empires and invasions from different ages, such as the Republic of Venice and the Ottoman empire, have left their prints too, and can be now found all over the peninsula through old towns, harbors and fortifications.

    Great walk up and round a hill. Stunning views. The detour climb to the top was quite challenging and not for the faint-hearted.

    Ich habe eine Tour gesucht, bei der man sich gemütlich die Berge hochkurbeln kann. Dafür ist diese Tour ideal! Hinwärts etwas eintönige Landschaft, aber die Abfahrt ans Meer führt durch ein paar Dörfchen und hat außerdem eine grandiose Aussicht. Man kann die Tour auch gut vom Frosch Club aus machen. Einfach hoch nach Longa bis zur T-Kreuzung und dann links auf die Route einbiegen.

    Hervorragende und sehr schöne Tour durch die Schlucht (oft schattig) mit der Möglichkeit 2 Klöster zu besichtigen, eines davon hängt wie ein Vogelnest an der Wand. Der Weg ist technisch einfach (trotzdem ordentliches Schuhwerk wie Trailrunner anziehen), sehr gut in Schuß (August 2026) und hervorragend markiert. Mittlerer Anspruch an die Kondition, es geht immer wieder auch steiler auf und ab. Der Besuch der Klöster ist in jedem Fall zu empfehlen, wie in allen Klöstern bitte auf dezente Kleidung achten, ansonsten kann der Einlaß verwehrt werden (Männer: lange Hose, Schultern/Oberkörper bedeckt, Frauen: Schultern/Oberkörper und Knie bedeckt) - am Eingang werden Tücher bereitgestellt, die man verwenden kann, wenn man anders gekleidet ist bzw. keine Wechselkleidung dabei hat. Die Bewohner sind anders als von einem der vorherigen Rezensenten bezeichnet keine Fanatiker, sondern christlich-orthodoxe Mönche in Ordenstracht, die - wenn man sie anspricht - sehr freundlich und bereitwillig die Geschichte des Klosters erklären und auch über die in der Kapelle ausgestellten Ikonen (die für orthodoxe Christen heilig sind) informieren. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Man sollte halt das Grundverständnis mitbringen, dass ein Besuch dort keine Disneyland-Tour ist, sondern dass es sich hier um heilige Orte handelt, an denen Mönche seit mehreren hundert Jahren leben. Mit einem Minimum an Respekt kann man hier sehr interessante Einblicke erhalten, wir waren absolut begeistert, 5 Sterne. Nach Rückkehr kann man im eiskalten Bach baden.

    Superb route, try to stay on the river bed, it’s amazing. Don’t do it in summer though, little shade, gets very warm in the gorge, which is the final and most challenging part. Don’t ask me how I know.
