Athens Round trip - Legends of the Peloponnese

Trip Details

A 10-day motorhome road trip from Athens to the Peloponnese is a wonderful way for families to experience Greece beyond the cities, combining ancient history, relaxed nature, coastal scenery, and authentic local culture. Starting near Athens, the dramatic Corinth Canal Cruise sets the tone for the journey, followed by a visit to Ancient Corinth, where history becomes tangible for both adults and children. Traditional Greek hospitality is part of the experience, with a stop at Taverna O Pantelis, perfect for a relaxed family meal.

As the route moves deeper into the Peloponnese, cooler mountain air and forests invite gentle outdoor adventures such as Vitina trekking, ideal for families who enjoy light walks without demanding hikes. The birthplace of the Olympic Games comes alive at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia and the Ancient Stadium, offering an engaging and educational stop that children often find surprisingly exciting.

Coastal life and local flavors shine at Kalamata’s Open Market, where fresh produce, olives, and street energy create a colorful break from sightseeing. Underground wonders await at the Caves of Diros, while history lovers will appreciate the atmospheric Byzantine ruins of Mystras. Time to unwind comes naturally at Myli Beach, an easygoing stop for swimming and downtime.

The charming town of Nafplio adds a playful touch with the Happy Train city tour, giving families a fun and effortless way to explore. The acoustics and scale of the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus leave a lasting impression, and the journey ends on a relaxing note at Al Hammam Traditional Baths, offering well-earned rest after days of exploration.

Motorhome travel tips: choose campsites near villages for easy access to attractions, balance cultural sites with beaches and nature to keep kids engaged, carry water and sun protection year-round, and plan driving distances conservatively to maintain a relaxed pace. This Athens-to-Peloponnese motorhome route delivers a perfect blend of learning, adventure, and family time—at Greece’s most enjoyable rhythm.
