People either love or hate road trips. Yes, there's alot of driving and not enough time at each stop, but it's a great way to be impressed quickly and easily, just what our pop culture has fostered in many of us. The Peleponnese have a wealth of impressive landscapes and ever changing views in this small area in the south of Greece. No matter how many times you go through this area, there is always something new to see. The mountains are either lush or barren, the light changes by the hour and the small local roads hide a wealth of beauty and tradition along them. This road trip takes us from Ithaca to Patras and then just out of Diakofto on the mainroad between Patras and Corinth, we take the scenic route through the mountains up to Kalavrita, one of Greeces' winter holiday spots for snow boarders and skiers. From there we wind through to Mega Spilion, The Lake Caves, Klitoria, Nafplion, Epidavros, Sparti, Monemvasia, The Mani, Koroni, Methoni, Pylos, Nestors Palace, Kiparissa and back to Patras to catch the ferry back to Ithaki. |
