Praias no Peloponeso

Beaches and Cliffs

This collection spans the Peloponnese coastline, featuring the omega-shaped Voidokilia bay and the 4-kilometer sandy stretch of Karathona. It highlights the diverse terrain of the peninsula, from the high sand dunes of Kalogria and the Strofylia wetlands in the northwest to the rugged limestone cliffs of Mani and Leonidio. Coastal spots like Akronafplia and the Kataphyki gorge offer vertical limestone faces for climbing, while the secluded coves of Porto Kagio and the pebble shores of Foneas provide sheltered access to the Ionian and Aegean seas.
