My family and myself are planning another trip to Greece within the next month. This time it will be to explore the Peloponnese. I have mapped out for hubs to stay out where we are there for eleven days. My wife wants to do something with and for the kids while we are there, and of course, she loves to shop. I have some things planned that are MUST dos for me - but I am looking to see what others might suggest as fun activities or locations. I have been to Alexandroupolis (and the surrounding areas), Thessaloniki, and Athens - now, I want to get as much of the Peloponnese as I can.

When we fly in we plan to stay the night in Athens; then the next day head out to Corinth.

We will be in Corinth for four days.
In Corinth; I plan to get to Megara, Nemea, Mycenae, and Epidaurus.

Our next stop will be Patra for two days.
From here, the only spot I really want to go see is Delphi (I know not on the Peloponnese but not too far from Patra)

Then we will head to Kalamata for three days.
In-route to Kalamata from Patra, I plan to hit Olympia. And while in Kalamata I want to go to Sparta - maybe get Gytheio, maybe Monemvasia.

And finally, head back to Athens for our last night where we will fly out of.

What are some suggestions? Are some must sees?

I highly recommend Monemvasia. It's fabulous and there are really great stores and restaurants. Its pretty much in the middle of nowhere and the drive is very windy, so just keep that in mind. I remember getting pretty nauseous but it was worth the trip. If you are driving down to Monemvasia from Corinth, I recommend stopping at Monastery Elonas, its a beautiful monastery in the mountains. You can also stop at Leonidio and Nafplio which are nearby towns.
 
Monemvasia and Naplio a must
corfu also the best Greek island
 
Definitely Nafplio and Monemvasia
 

Question about scuba diving in Greece

I'm currently planning a trip to Greece, a destination that has long been on my bucket list, not just for its history and cuisine, but especially for the scuba diving experiences it offers. I've heard that Greece boasts some incredible underwater landscapes, from vibrant marine life to fascinating wrecks.

Given the vastness of Greece's coastline, I thought I would try to see the country in a different way.

Let's say I want to go scuba diving in a particular island. How do I go about doing it?

Visiting Delphi worth it?

I am trying to figure out if visiting Delphi is worth it. I want to fit seeing as many historical sites as I can into my itinerary. I've always been fascinated by ancient cultures and their histories, which naturally puts places like Athens and Santorini on my list. Recently, I've been reading up on Delphi and am intrigued by its significant historical and cultural value, not to mention its picturesque landscapes.

Given its status as the center of the world in ancient Greek civilization and the home of the famous oracle, it sounds like a place full of fascinating stories and ruins. However, I'm also aware that Greece is full of remarkable places to visit, each with its unique allure.

Canyoning Bled Slovenia

Hi guys!!
I'm planning to take a group canyoning Bled but apparently, it is obligatory to use a local guide. I am a canyon instructor (caf and ffme), is this enough to supervise without anyone else? I have several years of experience (climbing and canyoning) and it is obvious that I will not be able to offer this destination if it is not possible.
Thanks in advance

Sustainable Travel to Greece?

I'm currently planning a trip to Greece and am passionate about making my travel as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. Given the beauty and historical significance of Greece, I want to ensure that my visit contributes positively to the environment and local communities there.

Does anyone have any tips or experiences they could share on sustainable travel practices in Greece? I'm looking for advice on everything from eco-friendly accommodations, sustainable dining options, to ways of exploring the country that minimize my carbon footprint. Also, if there are specific activities or tours that support local conservation efforts or communities, I'd love to hear about those too!

Greek Islands Food Tour?

I am a foodie and I love to cook. Does anyone know of any food tour situations that I can do in the islands, or maybe island hopping?

I am in the midst of planning an exciting adventure to Greece and am particularly interested in experiencing the country through its cuisine. I've heard that island hopping offers not just stunning views but also a taste of local flavors that differ from island to island.

With so many beautiful islands, from the renowned Santorini to the charming Skopelos, I'm looking for recommendations on food tours or culinary experiences that are part of island hopping packages. Any recommendations you may have would be great!
