Gwinners in Greece: Part 2 - Peleponnese

Beyond Athens, we also spent several days exploring the Peleponnese Peninsula. It is an area simply littered with amazing ruins, including those of Corinth, Epidavros, Mycenea, Olympia, and some lesser known sites. There are also lovely towns, such as Nauplie, gorgeous countryside, and that beautiful blue water. The photos below represent a mishmash of things we saw: Romantic ruins at Olympia

Corinth

Cyclopean walls of Mycenea. It was 100+ degrees, we were hot but had the place to ourselves.

Olympia

Snorkeling in Epidavros. There is a section of the old city that is now underwater, right by the shore. We snorkeled all around it. It creates a sort of reef, so is full of different kinds of fish.
