Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | After enjoying Greece's charming old port town of Nafplio, we'll time-trip through the ruins of Olympia, take center stage at the remarkably preserved theater at Epidavros, and explore the ancient capital of Mycenae. Then we'll wander off the beaten path along the rustic, rough-and-tumble Mani Peninsula, relax in the idyllic beach town of Kardamyli, and marvel at Greece's Rock of Gibraltar: the fortress town of Monemvasia. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #greece

    Greetings from Bulgaria . Greece is really beautiful .
  • By far and away one of the most accurate historical, religious and cultural narratives to accompany this truly beautiful video. Rick Steves deserves the highest praises.
  • My ancestry on my Mother's side is Greek. Both my Grandmother and Grandfather were born and raised in Sparta and Athens. They both came to America in the early 1900's. I am more Greek (50%) than English and love my Greek heritage! We celebrated many Greek traditions with my 12 Greek Aunts, Uncles and their families. Wonderful memories from times long gone... Thank you for this informative video:-).

    Peloponnese, the part of the country where ancient Greek, venetian and Byzantine cultural influences coexist in a perfect way. Peloponnese is also home to one of the best ski resorts of Europe: Helmos
  • Epidavros theatre is such a treasure. The place where so many thousands plays were presented, the place were drama, tragedy and comedy came to exist. The leaps made in ancient Greece are mind boggling.

    I'd visit Kalamata city beautiful area and Methoni/Koroni in Peloponnese. For some reason they never mention these areas but very beautiful areas. Greece has always been one of my favorite places to visit with my family as a kid and even now as an adult.
  • The Peloponnese has it all! Beautiful nature, amazing cultural heritage and archaeological sites, great food and very friendly people (and fewer tourists, which is great!). Absolutely worth touring it :-)
