Peloponnese is a large Greek peninsula – which has actually been an island since 1893, when the Corinthian canal was excavated, separating the peninsula from the mainland. Also known as the island of Pelops, it is a beautiful place, full of paradoxes. On the one side, the turquoise coast, the charming bays, the breath-taking beaches… and on the other side, rocky cliffs, high mountain ranges, secret caves and tiny enchanting harbours.
