A 5-day motorcycle tour to get a good taste of the wonderful Peloponnese

 Notable spots

Diros Caves

Located in Pyrgos Diros, near Gytheio, the Diros caves, Alepotrypa, Katafigi and Glyfada are another hidden secret. While the central cave ends in a beautiful underground river, the caves are thought to be some of the earliest inhabited sites in Greece, as many artefacts were found there. The caves are known for their beauty and also for the fact that they remain largely unexplored.

Voidokilia, Messinia

Located in Messinia, Voidokilia beach is one of the most beautiful in Greece, and probably in the whole of Europe.
Its most specific feature is the curve of the bay, which makes it look like an ox’s belly, hence its name. With white, fine sand, turquoise waters and a protected status, Voidokilia is a beach we would definitely put on our list.

Olympia

The archaeological site of Olympia includes the sanctuary of Zeus and the many buildings erected around it, such as athletic premises used for the preparation and celebration of the Olympic Games, administrative buildings and other lay buildings and monuments. The Altis, the sacred enclosure and core of the sanctuary, with its temples, cult buildings and treasuries, occupies the centre of the site.
It is surrounded by a perivolos, or enclosure wall, which in the late fourth century BC had three gates on its west side and two on the south, and is bordered on the east by the Echo Stoa, which separates the sacred precinct from the stadium. The enclosure wall was extended in Roman times and two monumental entrances were created on its west side.
The stadium of Olympia, situated east of the sacred Altis enclosure, was where the ancient Olympic Games and the Heraia, the women's games in honour of Hera, were held.
