Peloponnese, Peninsula in southern Greece.
The Peloponnese encompasses 21,549 square kilometers of land mass with mountains reaching 2,407 meters at Mount Taygetus and extensive coastal areas.
The region served as the foundation of Greek civilization, containing the ancient cities of Sparta, Corinth, and Argos, plus the first Olympic site at Olympia.
The archaeological treasures of Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Ancient Olympia demonstrate the architectural and artistic achievements of classical Greek civilizations.
The Corinth Canal and Rio-Antirrio Bridge connect the peninsula to mainland Greece, while numerous ports provide access to the Mediterranean Sea.
The peninsula contains five distinct geographic regions: Arcadia, Argolis, Corinthia, Laconia, and Messenia, each with different landscapes and traditions.
