Los Panchos
Did you know that originally the Peloponnese Penninsula was once an island in Greece, but geological conditions in the region united and later separated it from the mainland? Why did my husband and I choose to live on the Peloponnese Peninsula? Come join me and find out how we acquired our villa and what the surroundings are like. Why is the Peloponnese a place for all seasons?
Our dream of visiting Greece came to fruition in December of 1999, when we vacationed to Athens. This was my first trip to Greece which developed into a love affair with the country and its inhabitants. In January of 2002, we decided to move to Greece after seeing Cape Sounion, the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. We gleefully returned from the United States year after year.
We wanted to purchase property in close proximity to scenic Nafplio on the Peloponnese Peninsula with its Mediterranean climate. Did you know that Peloponnese means the island (nissos) of Pelops? Pelops was a mythological hero who was the mortal son of the god Zeus. The mythical cities and towns of the region were also important centers in antiquity.
During the fall of 2005, we visited 15 properties on the western coast of the Argolic Gulf, close proximity to Nafplio. We purchased our first vacation villa in December 2005 in the area of the western coast of the Argolic Gulf, in the region of Arcadia. The Zavitsa Mountains and the serenity of the sea made this an idyllic locale. Even though the coastline was rugged, it was bejeweled with deserted beaches and crystal blue waters. We acquired a brand new, modern, semi-detached house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This purchase taught me so much about the Greek people, their wonderful culture, attitude and hospitality. The magnificent sea views and fresh air have not helped me to improve my knowledge of Greek. But, it has made studying an amazing proposition. We are 54 kilometers west of Tripoli. We are approximately 50 kilometers from Corinth. We are near Epidavros which is southeast of Nafplio. Apollo rises on the Peloponnese. Tranquility reigns. In the late afternoon: Ouzo, small seafood and feta, feet in the water and enjoying life. It is marvelous to see people swim in our azure seas even through mid December.
We come to Greece often. We dream about the serene waters and the mountainous countryside which is "A place for all seasons." I hope you enjoyed your visit to Arcadia, a gateway to Mycanea, Tripoli, Olympia; and Epidavros.
