Self catering holidays in Peloponnese

The Peloponnese is a region of Greece.  The Peloponnese is not known as a major tourist destination but visitors to this area will find many peaceful unspoilt areas of Greece here.  The Peloponnese is technically an island as there is a separation of water between the Peloponnese and mainland Greece.  To reach the Peloponnese it is necessary to cross the amazing Corinth canal.  The cross over point at the bridge crossing the Corinth canal is a good point to get out and enjoy a coffee at one of the cafes and take a look at this huge canal. 
The lower section of the Greek mainland below the Corinthian Canal is the Peloponnese.  A rich agricultural area, the Peloponnese encompasses the wine growing regions of Nemea.  Olive groves are dotted throughout the area, citrus fruit, peppers, courgettes, tomatoes, and other vegetables and fruits associated with the Mediterranean are grown in this area. The cherries are superb at the end of May.

The terrain varies from mountainous where villages cling precariously to hillsides, down to valleys, plains, wonderful forests, and miles upon miles of coastline and sandy beaches.
The Peloponnese doesn’t attract tourists in their droves so if you have a sense of adventure and want to explore somewhere off the beaten track then the Peloponnese may well be a great part of Greece for your self catering holiday.  Reasonable numbers of people head for the sites of Olympia and Epidavros but outside these areas there is plenty opportunity to find secluded and remote self catering accommodation. 

Popular places to visit include Olympia, Epidavros, Nafplio, Sparta, Corinth, medieval Mystra and Monemvasia. There is just so much to see and an incredible number of beautiful landscapes.  A tour of the Peloponnese is highly recommended - it's the sort of place that people develop a strong affection for and return to for self catering holidays year after year.   Whether you are seeking a villa or apartment to rent, we hope you have a great time in the Peloponnese.

Please consider perusing alternative holiday cottages in Greece.

Occasionally a change of destination is acceptable if you just have a preference and are not committed to holiday in Peloponnese. One of the main reasons for a specific location is to spend time with relations, alternatives are then not possible. However, if a specific location is not that important, take a look at some of the suggested holiday destinations outlined below:

Try using our advanced Cottage Search facility to enter your self-catering requirements such as occupancy, tourist board grading, garden required and so on. This will create a list of possible holiday lettings. Secondly, reduce the list by adding any other factors that might be of lesser importance such as setting or dishwasher.

How about something completely different? Some people always return to the same place year after year. A new location can be exciting and much more stimulating. If you have the time, browse a few pages – we have a wonderful selection of cottage holidays, log cabins, apartments, villas and houses. There are even large country houses for large scale events. Recall this fact if you ever need a large property for a wedding.

The busiest periods for rental accommodation are New Year and Bank holidays.
