A 320km section of the E4 European path through the mountains of the Peloponnese, traversing the wild Arcadian highlands, the Taygetos range, and the remote Mani peninsula. The route passes ancient Sparta, stone tower villages of the Mani, and mountain monasteries. Expect hot, dry conditions at lower elevations, rocky mountain paths, and limited services in remoter areas. The Arcadian mountains are covered in Greek fir forest, while the Mani is stark and arid with Byzantine chapel ruins. Waymarking varies from good to poor — a GPS device is recommended. Greek mountain hospitality is warm and generous.
