Best Rural Hotels in the Peloponnese
Search the best hotels in Peloponnese
The spectacular Peloponnese peninsula provided the backdrop for many tales from Greek mythology, as well as exciting events from history — the whole region is littered with the ruins of Mycenaean palaces, Byzantine churches, Roman theatres, and Venetian fortresses. In amongst these are old farmhouses and estates, some of which have been converted into rural hotels or retreats, offering the chance to really escape back in time. It isn’t just the peninsula’s interior that offers the opportunity for a peaceful escape — there is a long, long coastline, with plenty of empty stretches which are host to the odd hotel or B&B. We've scoured the region and put together a list of the best rural hotels in the Peloponnese. Families will find plenty of self-catering options, as well as villas and apart-hotels; plus there are some seriously luxurious rural retreats, and beautiful boutique-style properties.
