We are a family of 4, with two teenagers (but only one who likes history). We are looking for advice on how to slow down this trip (i.e. what should we cut out?) of the Peloponnese. Prior to the Peloponnese we'll be in Turkey for 11 days (Istanbul and Antalya to Ephesus), followed by 4 days on Naxos, and 3 days in Athens.

We'll start touring the Peloponnese with 3 days in Nafplio and then... we'd like to see a mountain village (which one?), Monemvassia, Mystras, Methoni, Nastoras Palace, Olympia, and Delphi. One way we could do this to skip Monemvassia which seems out of the way, but stay put in Methoni for a few days. From that base, we could explore the beach, Finikoundas, Koroni, castles, etc.

Any suggestions?
Thank you!

What a fabulous trip you have planned!

We took a day trip to the Peloponnese from Athens in 2004 and loved it. I would have liked to have spent more time there and hope to return one day.

The town of Nafplio is beautiful. We really enjoyed seeing Corinth, Mycanae and Epidaurus too.

We took a separate day trip from Athens to Delphi, and it is spectacular.

Have a wonderful trip!
