Technically an island since 1893 when the Corinth canal opened, the Peloponnese is the southernmost peninsula of Greece. The Peloponnese is a region filled with stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, and many ancient sites that are some of the most important in the country. The Peloponnese is an area of Greece that is perfect for visiting any time of the year, especially during the summer, as it has some of the best beaches in the whole country. It is an area that is perfect for exploring, and where visitors can appreciate the immense natural beauty of Greece that is often overlooked.

The county of Ilia (or Ilias as it is often referred to), is situated on the north west side of the Peloponnese. The capital of Ilia is Pyrgos, and the entire county is one of huge historic importance to Greece. The ancient site of Olympia is located in Ilia, and it was from here that the Olympic Games were born. The site is one of immense interest, and should be visited by everyone who travels to the Peloponnese. The archaeological museum opposite the site is also very impressive and holds some unique findings and ancient artifacts.

There are also several natural spas in Ilia that are very popular with visitors. The hot sprigs of Kilini have been developed by the Greek National Tourist Organisation ( GNTO )into a highly developed resort.
