Peloponnese
Overview
The Peloponnese, Peloponnesus, or Morea, is a peninsula and geographic region in southern Greece, and the southernmost region of the Balkans. It is connected to the central part of the country by the Isthmus of Corinth land bridge, which separates the Gulf of Corinth from the Saronic Gulf. From the late Middle Ages until the 19th century, the peninsula was known as the Morea, a name still in colloquial use in its demotic form.
The peninsula is divided among three administrative regions: most belong to the Peloponnese region, with smaller parts belonging to the Western Greece and Attica regions.
