Brilliant video! Thanks! The museum looks very encouraging. Having just left Nafplio and still recovering from my day trip scampering around Acrocorinth, I would agree with your comments about sites closer to Athens. I found Epidaurus fascinating and left with a better understanding of their healing practices Presently in Kalamata for a week and was hoping you could suggest whether to make a Olympia day trip from Kalamata or Patras Thanks again
Glad you are having a good time. If you are in Kalamata and have a car got to Ancient Messini, maybe 30 mins drive, and I think better than Olympia. it is up in the mountains and a little hard to find, but the best ancient site in the Peloponnese I think, I have a Vid. The other place to consider visiting for a day is Koroni and maybe Methoni, about an hours drive round the coast to the west. Olympia is worth it, probably about 90 to 100. mins drive from kalamata, but I would personally choose Messini if I could only do one. Have you considered Areopoli? and Mani?
Please tell me you've been to see the temple of Appollo in Bassae in the peloponnese? Its a world heritage site, not many people go there due to its isolation but an amazing place to visit.
I haven't, but I will, I drive round there a lot actually, though and will definitely now visit and film, trouble is my ancient site vids don't generally do that well, which is a shame because they are really my passion. I love the suggestion, thanks. Probably be after xmas now though!! any other suggestions also be happy to investigate.
@@GreeceExplored Great to hear you will visit hopefully in the near future and I'm sure it will make for an interesting video. Last time I went was around 30 odd years ago. One thing I will never forget was the complete silence, I was the only person there! At that time there wasn't even a paved road for many kilometres.
Nothing round there is easy, but I bet it is easier than 30 years ago!! If I go in January I expect it to be pretty quiet. just need to pick a nice day.@@rebornitsybitsy7515
