A perfect blend of ancient and traditional Greece awaits on this easygoing day out in the Peloponnese. Showcasing the very best of the west, you'll step into the past with skip-the-line tickets to Kyllini's Chlemoutsi Castle, before swinging by the coastal village of Arkoudi for some free time to do as you please.
You'll start the day at Chlemoutsi Castle. Perched upon a hilltop overlooking the Ionian Sea, this 13th century fortress once served as a defence along important trade routes. Nowadays, the castle unites both history-buffs and selfie-snappers with its impressive military-style architecture and panoramic views.
Then, you'll head to Arkoudi. This small seaside village has missed the tourism memo over the years, managing to retain it's traditional Greek charm. You'll have just over two hours of free time here to explore. Stroll through the village's quaint streets, grab a bite to eat in an authentic taverna, or bring a towel and hit the rolling Blue Flag beach – the choice is yours.
