Beth, it's a VERY helpful report ... thanks for taking the time, and providing opinions and cost details. I urge everyone who's planning a lot of Peloponnese driving to check it out!

Thanks, Beth! This trip report is a must-read before anyone even thinks about visiting the Peloponnese.

About the very end of the report, I’ve also noticed a bunch of times that Greeks remember the people they meet so well, even years after. Sometimes it feels like you're just coming back to visit family. :-)

Wonderful report and brought back memories of one of my several trips to the Peloponnese.

Thanks Janet, Jo-Lui, and Tommy.

I must say I still am amazed that the shop keeper in Nafplio remembered my son. And yes, it did feel like a family reunion. I think he told her when he said good bye eight years ago that he would come back. And obviously their brief encounters were really important to both of them. My son was a 21 year old college student at the time who had never been abroad before that Greece trip.

And Tommy--we went through Petalidi in route to Koroni. It looked like a lovely town and a much better location than exploring than from Koroni. I am glad we decided against using Koroni as a base, although we could have used another half day there (I would have skipped Nestor's Palace).
