Hotels in Peloponnese, Greece

Peloponnese is a mountainous peninsula in southern Greece, famous for ancient ruins like Olympia and Mycenae and coastlines along the Ionian and Aegean Seas. The Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers (averaging 86°F/30°C) ideal for swimming at Voidokilia Beach or hiking the Taygetus range, while mild winters (around 50°F/10°C) let you explore the 23-mile Corinth Canal or the fortified towns of Monemvasia and Mystras without crowds. For a mix of history and nature, spring offers blooming wildflowers at the Temple of Apollo at Bassae, and autumn provides perfect conditions for olive oil tasting in Messinia.
