In ancient times, Greece was known as the cradle of Western society. Currently, this Mediterranean country owes its fame to its impressive archaeological sites -with the Parthenon as a national emblem- and to its idyllic islands that offer idyllic beaches, Mediterranean culture and a privileged environment such as the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Thermisia.

The Peloponnese peninsula is one of the most sought after destinations for those who want to get to know the true Greek character, far from the great tourist crowds. Nauplia is one of those towns, with its immense fortress, that have sprung up around a bay and in which you can almost touch the Mediterranean temperament. Although when it comes to bays, one of the most beautiful in the area is that of Navarino, a paradise for divers, with various sunken wrecks including: three Ottoman ships from the Greek War of Independence.

In addition to the landscapes, the impressive theater of Epidaurusis preserved in the Peloponnese. Sitting in one of its stands and checking the acoustics of the place will give you chills: from the highest part you can hear what is being said on stage even if it is in a low voice.

Less than an hour from the theater is Thermisia, a small town where staying at the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Thermisia is a delight as its views are extraordinary. From its port you can see the island of Hydra, with a surface area of barely 50 km, and a singular beauty. Its main city winds around the port, with houses at different heights. One of the main characteristics of the island is that motor vehicles are prohibited. To get to it, there is nothing like getting on a ship, watching its bay slowly approach from the bow. Therein lies the true Greek character.
