Greece is a country full of treasures. The Peloponnese is one of them, with a rich heritage of ancient sites, but also lively cities, hilly and steep nature and dreamy beaches. For a few years now, nomadic vacationers have found Greece to be a real Eldorado. Renting a motorhome is one of the most exciting ways to travel from one place to another in a large part of the country, including the fascinating Peloponnese. Looking for an exciting road trip in Europe for your next vacation? Opt for a motorhome rental and multiply your experiences on a peninsula that has so much to offer.
Motorhome rental: another way to discover the Peloponnese
The rental of motorhomes and vans is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. Greece is one of those destinations that you should definitely discover on a touring vacation. With Camper Club, families and groups of friends can choose from various starting points to explore the most beautiful areas of Greece, including the Peloponnese. The agency offers three types of comfortable, state-of-the-art motorhomes that can accommodate up to six travelers. Inside each vehicle you will find everything you need for a peaceful road trip: a kitchen area with refrigerator, sink and food cooking facilities. Meals can be taken inside around the table and at night, up to six beds welcome travelers for a good night's rest. Let's not forget to mention the details that make the difference with the bike rack, the water tank, the shower space and the possibility of another one for the toilet. The highest quality vehicles are equipped with rear view cameras or a television.
Traveling around the Peloponnese in a motorhome allows you to vary the pleasures from one day to the next and easily move from an ancient site to a mountain environment or a splendid beach. There is nothing like this to feel an incredible sense of freedom, to live close to nature and to discover a thousand and one things in a single trip.
In addition, with Camper Club, the agency offers a test drive of the motorhome and provides all the useful information for a pleasant and safe drive. Camper Club suggests routes so that you don't miss any of the must-see and unusual places in each territory. The professionals also offer a list of the best campsites to park and places with special services for motorhome owners. An assistance is also proposed 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in case of breakdown or emergency.
Motorhome road trip in the Peloponnese: the must-sees
Once the motorhome has been collected from the agency, the road trip in the Peloponnese can begin. The peninsula is a sublime territory full of contrasts, with typical villages, ancient and historical sites, coasts with crystalline beaches and hikes to make in mountainous landscapes. After walking along the Corinthian canal, you can go to the most beautiful villages of the Peloponnese with the fortified city of Monemvasia, on the cliff side; the pastoral village of Karyes; the historical and abandoned hamlet of Vàthya and the seaside villages of Gythio, Pylos and Gerolimenas. History and architecture lovers will always appreciate the rich heritage as well as the good and refreshing local gastronomy.
History is present everywhere in the Peloponnese and a road trip in a motorhome must also pass by the most incredible sites such as the ancient cities of Sparta and Maecenas; the Byzantine city of Mistral; Epidaurus and its wonderfully preserved ancient theater or the 18th century fortress of Palmedo and its eight bastions connected by walls. And then how could we not take the opportunity to stop at Olympia and admire the foundations of ancient sports facilities that hosted athletes between the years 776 and 393 BC?
The Peloponnese is also famous for its natural beauty. A motorhome trip is an opportunity to go hiking in the heart of the gorges of Vouraikos, with steep cliffs, lakes and waterfalls. We will not forget to take the small cogwheel train which passes there. There is another path that makes the happiness of the walkers. It is the one of Menalon, which allows to explore the green gorges of Loussios. And then there is the coastline and its little corners of paradise like Nafplio. The seaside resort is the perfect spot to stroll through the picturesque streets before indulging in a kayaking, jet-skiing or diving session. In the south of the Peloponnese, you can also park your camper at the port of Pounta before taking the ferry to the island of Elafonissos. Once there, the beach of Simos offers the feeling of having reached paradise, with its white sand and turquoise waters.
