Video of Green Traveller's trip to Central and Southern Peloponnese

Filmed and produced by Richard Hammond for Green Traveller Media

Foreword by Emy Anagnostopoulou, Director, GNTO UK & Ireland Office

Greece has been a sea and sun destination favourite for British holidaymakers for decades with the Greek islands and their many obvious attractions often grabbing the limelight. But Greece has much more to offer. Many of the mainland destinations still remain undiscovered despite the fact that they are just as welcoming, just as beautiful and have as many cultural and historic attractions.

Central and Southern Peloponnese have some of the most dramatic terrains in Greece and is one of the most sought after destinations for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. Pack your rafting gear and head for Lousios River and explore the breath-taking walking trails of Mainalon.

Visitors can walk through the cobbled streets of the medieval town of Monemvasia and taste different local wine varieties in the numerous wineries of the area, while culture lovers can travel through time at Mystras, Methoni and Koroni archaeological sites.

The combination of the pretty Peloponnese coastline with its mesmerising white sand beaches like Voidokoilia and the picturesque fishing villages like Limeni create an ideal escape without even getting on a ferry.
