Quick Tips/Suggestions:
-The Peloponnese is at its best in spring, when the entire peninsula
seems to blossom. Even unearthly and barren Mani blooms!
-Even in spring it can become blistering hot. Always have plenty
of water with you, preferably in a thermos bottle. If you don’t have one, wrap your bottle in tinfoil so the water stays
relatively cool.
-When camping out: bring a hammer and plenty of tent pegs. The camping grounds vary from soft luscious
lawns to impenetrable dusty pitches.
-When you’re a student, bring along your student card or ISIC card. You’ll
be exempt from the entrance-fee at most sites
