Talk:Peloponnese

From Wikitravel

[edit] Itineraries section

Ilkirk, would you comment why you moved this line from Itineraries to Get Out?

Stay in Nafplion and drive in radial directions to ancient sightseeing, one destination a day.

It is not about leaving the region, but about one of the ways to explore it (what is called Itineraty here, AFAIU). Please let me know your reasons -- and thanks for templating the article. --DenisYurkin 03:04, 29 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Daytrips go in Get out (see Wikitravel:Where you can stick it). The plural "directions" above implies to me that this is a number of daytrips, all originating in Peloponnese rather than a single, multiday route. -- Colin 10:35, 29 Sep 2005 (EDT)

As I can see from Wikitravel:Where you can stick it, "sticking" it to GetOut makes sense only when you leave a place you describe (like go to towns around Athens -- which are BEYOND the city).

By 'ancient sightseeing' I meant ' Ancient Olympia, Epidarus, Mykene, Corinth, Mystra, Sparta' (please suggest how to make it more clear), which all are WITHIN Peloponnese region, not NEAR it. --DenisYurkin 11:08, 29 Sep 2005 (EDT)

[edit] Drink: anything specific to Peloponnese?

Is there anything specific to Peloponnese in this?

Drink

All the classic Greek stuff. Ouzo will obviously feature heavily, as will the local wine (don't be put off by plastic bottles). For those of a hardier constitution, Metaxa (Greek brandy) can make a fine end to an evening.

I could understand if we place winery recommendations like Nemea (as recently reviewed by Wall Street Journal), but what's special about Ouzo and Metaxa?

In a meanwhile, I remove this part from the article. --DenisYurkin 10:07, 12 November 2006 (EST)
