Peloponnese is located in the southern part of Greece and means 'the island of Pelops'. It received its name from the mythical king Pelopa of Ilida who in legend was fed to the gods by his father Tantalos. During the medieval times it was named Morias and the people who lived there were called Peloponnesians or Moraites. The largest river of the Peloponnese is the Alfios River which is about 68 miles long. The landscape is dominated by forested mountains. The Peloponnese is one of the primary strongholds and battlefields of the 1821 Greek Revolution. Photos are taken in Finikunda, Methoni, Aeropoli, Porto Kagio, Elafonisos Island
