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

  • GREECE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY I HAVE SEEN; I HAVE VISITED IT FOUR TIMES.
  • What a beautiful place. A rich and vibrant history, forever imprinted on a breathtaking landscape. Greek natives must feel such a sense of pride!
  • 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:-).
  • I traveled two weeks last summer driving around in all the cities mentioned in the film, Monnemvasia is absolutely my favorite, and the driving cute from Nafplio to Mommemvasia on the mountain with sea view most of the route is one of the most beautiful routes! People from Greece are just SO nice, will visit more of Greece for sure!

    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.
