...and Mycenae, and Epidavros and Sparta and Olympia and Monemvasia, and Nafplio and Diros caves,  and ancient Corinth, and Mistras...  definitely a great place to visit.

And of course don't miss out on Arcadia, with the beautiful and traditional villages that seem to be lost in time...

True paradise . I visited the Peloponnese when I was 29 and soon became a place to explore all the time...

couldn't agree more..so diverse ...

[valantisfikioris]

In this video you see very few. You can't imagine how many places and sightseings are in Peloponnese. Every place has it's own history.
Anyway congratulation for the good job and thank you for your promotion.

the best acquaintance with the Peloponnese is made through the epic cultural routes of Epos travel & Tours!

Nice video! Definitely a great recommendation, thanks!

Very nice video, but there is a misstep: 0.50-0.52 it’s Delphi – definitely NOT in the Peloponnese

[giorgosdellidis]

00:50 - 00:53 This is the theatre at Delphi. It's not on the Peloponnese, it's a little bit further to the North, in the Central Greece region.

Lonely Planet you should be a bit more rigorous in your research :-)

Drinking the Corinthian sun
Reading the marble ruins
Striding over vineyard seas
Aiming with my harpoon
At votive fish that elude me
I found those leaves that the psalm of the sun memorizes
The living land that desire rejoices
To open

I drink water, cut fruit
Plunge my hands through the wind's foliage
Lemon trees quicken the pollen of summer days
Green birds cut through my dreams
And I leave, my eyes filled
With a boundless gaze where the world becomes
Beautiful again from the beginning according to the heart's measure.

Translated by Kimon Friar (original poem by Odysseas Elytis, "Πίνοντας ήλιο κορινθιακό" - Drinking the Corinthian sun)

Very distracting constantly switching between scenery and the person. Bad idea, Lonely Planet!
