Publisher's description:
This new edition of Bradt's Greece: The Peloponnese with Athens, Delphi and Kythira remains the only dedicated guidebook to the southern part of the Greek mainland and provides more detailed coverage of the peninsula than any other rival book, making it an indispensable read for travelers to this small but fascinating part of Greece. It also incorporates a focused mini - guide to the Greek capital of Athens and nearby world - famous site of Delphi and is particularly strong on off - the - beaten - track sites, background information, accommodation and other subjects of interest for both independent travelers and those traveling as part of a group.
Originally written by Andrew Bostock, an expert on Greece and former resident of the Peloponnese, this fourth edition has been updated by Bradt's most prolific and experienced guidebook writer Philip Briggs. Selective listings have been refreshed to reflect a growing trend towards eco - conscious boutique hotels. As with previous editions, in - depth coverage of well - known sites is supplemented by descriptions of lesser - known attractions and independent tours and activities, reflecting the reality that the Peloponnese, more than any other part of Greece, exemplifies the ideals of 'slow travel'.With Bradt's Greece: The Peloponnese, discover hidden villages, sophisticated towns and other top attractions, including one of Europe's most spectacular train journeys and the tower houses of the famed Mani. Explore hidden sites, including places not covered anywhere else. The guide is packed with information on agritourism spots, camping under the stars, rustic tavernas and locally grown produce.
For those coming out of high season, revel in the delights of the wildflowers of spring, the joys of the olive harvest in late autumn and skiing opportunities during the winter. Bird life and marine life are also a huge attraction for visitors to the Peloponnese. The guide also focuses on the colorful life of the traditional 'paneyiri' and those who still embrace the Greek spirit of 'philoxenia'.
