Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan scholar who traveled the medieval world. One of the greatest quotes he left us with is “Traveling — it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” As an avid traveler myself, I truly have encompassed the feeling of breathtaking views that leave my mouth with no words to say in the moment. My previous blogs, and future blogs embody the experience of travel, and allow me to share my opinions and knowledge of various locations with you all.
One of the most stunning places I’ve traveled to is Greece. There’s nothing like taking a bite of a mediterranean meal while looking out to a great view of blue water, rugged mountains, and tranquil beaches. If you’re planning a trip abroad, let it be Greece.
Pining Views in Peloponnese
The greek meaning of Peloponnese is “Island of Pelops” who was a legendary hero said to have conquered the island. In addition to Pelops, this island has a more familiar story of history — that being the place where Hercules roamed and battled.
Celestial and mythological enticement aside, Peloponnese has plenty to offer. One of the best sites to see here is Ancient Olympia. This historical sanctuary site was dedicated to worshiping the greek god, Zeus, who was the father of Olympian gods.
On top of ancient historical sites, Peloponnese also has more modern views. From beaches to top-notch vineyards, you’ll have an experience to talk about. The views are something you’ll pine after for years to come after your trip.
