50 long and short walks and 5 car tours
A guidebook to walking in the southern Peloponnese of Greece, featuring 50 of the best long and short day walks.
We cover only the southern Peloponnese – the area with the highest mountain range (Mt Taygetus), the finest Byzantine chapels and medieval forts (in the Mani), the wildest seascapes (Capes Tainaron and Maleas), the largest forest (Mt Parnon) and, arguably, some of the loveliest beaches (Pylos, Kiparissi and Elafonisos, to name just a few).
Trekking routes of varying difficulty are featured, all of which are mapped in detail and many of which are circular.
This guide also includes 5 car tours, 2 touring maps and free downloadable GPS tracks.
When to go: The best months for walking in the Peloponnese are April and May, late September and October.
