Peloponnese Roadtrip spring

Posted by on

We are two families (kids 6, 8, 12) road-tripping around the Peloponnese for 5 nights first week of April.
We love nature, outdoor adventuring (rivers, caves, hiking), mythology, food!

We will do 3 nights in Napflio using as a base to explore the area (Mycenae, Epidavros, ??). Any recs on must dos/eats are welcome!

Where should we explore/ stay the other two nights? Would like to stay in quaint small town or cool air bnb experience to use as base for exploring. Considering aeropoli/ diros, kalamata/ Messenia//pyros/ limeni or Olympia/demitsana… but open to other ideas!

Thank you!!!

With just five days it may not be worthwhile to split your time.

There is plenty to do in and around Nafplio to keep you occupied for 5 days.

Check out the best website for Nafplio and you'll be amazed how much there is to experience in that part of the Argolis.

Would like to stay in quaint small town

Nafplio being a quaint small tow,n I agree with Tommy, stay in Nafplio longer and explore the surroundings from there.
The only criticism I have to make of Nafplio (old town), but this is my personal opinion, is that's a town dedicated to tourism where there are only 150 permanent inhabitants.

Here is a map where I have drawn lines to some places easily accessible from Nafplio

The first 10 miles along the coast towards the west to Lerna are uninteresting, it is much better after continuing along the coast towards Tyros.

On the east side I find Tolo particularly ugly with its seaside "resort" buildings, it will be much more in a "quaint style" if you continue further, for example to Candia or Iria
