Our Team’s pick for the Best Year-Round Destination in Greece

March 03, 2022
It was a unanimous vote! The winner is the Peloponnese and its endless exploration – a place we can’t wait to visit again and again.
 
Rich natural beauty, traditional villages, authentic Greek culture and delicious native cuisine – this is the Peloponnese region of Greece. Located in the southern part of Greece, the Peloponnese is home to numerous famous archaeological sites including Agamemnon’s Mycenae, the Theater of Epidaurus, and Ancient Olympia – the birthplace of the Olympic Games – just to name a few.
 
Coastal areas like Porto Heli, Messenia, and Nafplio offer fantastic by-the-beach stays with lots of local character and gorgeous blue waters, while inland regions such as Kalavrita and Mystras are surrounded by beautiful mountainous landscapes with virile forests and snaking rivers that offer perfect hiking trails.
 
When in need of relaxation and a secluded vacation, there are two resorts in the Peloponnese that take tranquility to a whole new level. The Aman Resort can be found in Porto Heli and it is set on a hilltop overlooking the Aegean, offering an incredible panorama of its natural surroundings - the resort’s location is hard to beat. Glossy, contemporary and peaceful, Amanzoe looks like a modern-day version of the Acropolis with marbled colonnades and stone giving shape to the resort’s impressive façade.
 
Then, there is the Euphoria Retreat, which is located in the heart of the Peloponnese at Mystras. It embraces the ancient Greek concept of a blissful life as it aims to be a catalyst for personal transformation and to rejuvenate the bodies and minds of its guests through an eclectic blend of ancient Greek and Chinese holistic wellness techniques and treatments. 
 
The Peloponnese is a place for everyone with an infinite array of possibilities to pass your time in a constructive, yet relaxing fashion. It is a place where history and myths abound, while nature is king in its purest form – a perfect destination for all seasons.
