The E4 European long distance path – Peloponnesos is one of the most impressive hiking routes in Southern Europe and takes you through the heart of the mythical Peloponnesos. This southern section of the E4 path begins at the coast near Diakopto in Achaia, winds through the mountainous regions of Arcadia, and ends in the historic port town of Gythio in Laconia.

Along the way, you will discover an unparalleled variety of landscapes: from rugged mountain ranges, dense forests, and babbling rivers to ancient villages and archaeological sites. The route is well marked and maintained by local volunteers and mountaineering clubs, allowing you to head out without a guide and fully enjoy the authentic Greek hospitality, regional dishes, and the tranquility of nature.

Thanks to the mild Mediterranean climate, this section of the E4 is accessible year-round, although the higher mountain areas may still have snow until spring. The E4 on the Peloponnesos is ideal for hikers seeking a combination of natural beauty, culture, and adventure—a unique experience that takes you along the best that Greece has to offer.
