Lonely Planet Names Peloponnese Top European Destination In 2016

Lonely Planet has recently released their 'Best In Europe' list for European destinations you must see in 2016. Coming in at #1 is the Peloponnese in Greece! Here’s what the popular travel website had to say about this must-see European destination!

‘Travellers to Greece tend to flock to the myriad islands or marvel at the iconic Acropolis, but one of the country’s most diverse, vibrant regions is often forgotten: the Peloponnese. It remains an affordable enclave of magnificent ancient sights like Olympia, Mycenae and Mystras, which are scattered across a rich landscape of stone villages, teal seas and snow-capped mountains.

2016 brings the chance to hike the Peloponnese’s new Menalon trail or take a tipple in the Nemean wine region, with its vintages gaining prominence around the globe. You can dive shipwrecks off the Navarino coast or visit the wild and remote Mani, home to ancient stone towers converted into boutique luxury lodgings. Beautiful Nafplio blends contemporary art with atmospheric architecture and classic town squares, ideal for a long, lazy lunch.’

Lonely Planet also says that the Peloponnese is a great place to see traditional Greek life, its history, and beautiful landscapes!
