With its ancient monuments, medieval castles, uniquely beautiful villages and surrounding nature, the Peloponnese is much more than a coastline with picturesque gulfs. The entire history and nature of the Mediterranean is reflected in a single area. The Peloponnese is the homeland of Helen of Troy and the Atreides, the Olympic games, the sacred olive tree and ancient Sparta. War, peace and civilisation. It is also home to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, possibly the most beautiful open-air theatre in the world, and to the Sanctuary of Asklepios that lies next to it, which is a world cultural heritage monument.
