Quote from Question to Our Team on 21/07/2021, 12:45We are visiting Athens soon and would like to visit places close to Athens. Is the Peloponnese a good choice for our family (2 kids aged 10 and 13)?

Quote from Our Trip Planner Response on 21/07/2021, 12:54Thank you for your question. Our answer is absolutely! The Peloponnese region is often overlooked by first-time visitors to Greece, but it should not be. In fact, it has a wealth of things to see and do and is an amazing family destination.
If you love to swim, you'll be happy to hear that the Peloponnese has numerous pristine beaches and family-friendly seafront resorts. The best thing about the Peloponnese, however, in my opinion, are its numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
All of the archaeological sites such as Mycenae, Epidaurus and Ancient Olympia are a must see and can be visited independently. For this reason, we definitely recommend the Peloponnese for families who love road trips. If you are into road trips, you can take a look at our Planning Mythological Family Road Trip in Greece guide.
The best cities to stay in are Nafplio and Kalamata. I am sure you'll love both places and especially the picturesque Nafplion, which offers plenty of kid-friendly activities. Here is a list of highlights in the Peloponnese:
Corinth
Nemea
Epidaurus
Mycenae
Nafplio
Kalamata
Ancient Olympia
Messene
Mystras
Monemvasia
Cave of Diros
Pylos
Methoni and Koroni Castles
