Photographer’s Note

Peloponnese :- Mani - Grey rocky mountains, spotted with insolent clumps of green scrub, characterise Mani region of the Peloponnese.
Olympia – It is one of the most significant sanctuaries of ancient times, Olympia is the birth-place of the Olympic Games and also where they were held.
Monemvasia - Nicknamed the Gibraltar of Greece or just the Rock, because of its deliberate significance during the Middle Ages. A word is getting out that in addition to its medieval fortress, gorgeous churches, and drop-dead sunsets, it has several of the most stylish small hotels in the Peloponnese, increasingly good restaurants and draws visitors year-round.
Mystras - It is an unoccupied city from the Byzantine era, with fortress, palaces, churches, monasteries and the houses of the rich and the poor. It is analogous only with Mount Athos in its intense spirit of Byzantium.
