From heart-stopping narrow roads, through mountains that never stopped climbing, to vast sweeps of valleys, the KAPI from Hersonissos, with members also from Pano Hersonissos, Avdou, Analipsi, Potamies and surrounding areas, enjoyed an exciting excursion to the Peloponnese.
After travelling from Iraklion to Athens, the group of nearly 50 visited the immense Epidavros Theatre, which is now a social and historic site. Later, they went to the castle at Palamidi.
The ever changing scenery included Sparti and then Nafplio, and the castle at Mystras, then a journey to Kalamata. The magnificent Vlychada Cave at Diros was a challenge, but again worth the efforts, which many experienced with an underground boat.
Mountainous vista unfolded as the coach's driver overcame radical twists and hairpin turns on the narrow roads.
Among other sites visited were the ancient monastery of Agia Megaspilion, the stunning memorial at Kalavryta, the historic site of Olympia and even wine tasting at Achaia Clauss, wine producers since 1861.
