I'm in mountainous Southern Greece, midway through an epic road trip across the Peloponnese, the four-tentacled peninsula connected to the mainland by the Isthmus of Corinth and surrounded by the Ionian Sea to the west, the Mediterranean to the south, and the Aegean to the east.
Modern European history springs from the Peloponnese, containing classical, Venetian, Byzantine, and Turkish influences. Towns like Kardamyli, linked to myths of antiquity, and the wild Mani Peninsula with its shadowy cliffs depict a rich historical tapestry.
