Greece: The Peloponnese / Grecja: Peloponez przewodnik Bradt

Author: Andrew Bostock 1st edition • MARCH 2009 224 PAGES • 16 PAGES OF COLOUR PHOTOS • 20 MAPS ISBN: 978 1 84162 307 8   Greece is the cradle of civilisation, and the Peloponnese is the cradle of Greece: Olympia is here, so are the mountains of Arcadia and Homer\'s Mycenae. But Bradt\'s Peloponnese also embraces the living world: the traditional panagyria (village festivals) and the people who still embody the Greek spirit of philoxenia, or hospitality to strangers. It leads travellers to idyllic campsites by ancient theatres; picnic spots in olive groves; buzzing towns and hidden communities; and tells them the best places to hike, kayak or to spot the famous loggerhead turtle. And if you want to dance on the same beach as Zorba the Greek, or wonder why newborn babies cause old women to spit over their shoulders – you’ll find the answers in the pages of this, the best guide to the best of Greece.
• The first guide to cover the growing activity and adventure tourism of the Peloponnese • Where to taste wine from Nemea and sample olives from Kalamata • Detailed coverage of the region\'s flora and fauna • Knowledgeable and opinionated reviews of the best accommodation and tavernas
