My wife and I have traveled a lot around the Mediterranean and, years ago, we spent some time in Athens and the islands, but we have never been to the Peloponnese. We will be there during the first two weeks of September. Can you recommend one or two towns that would make good base camps for day trips around the Peloponnese? If anyone had any information regarding the buses or taxi?

We prefer to stay away from big cities and tourists resorts. We like to be very active during the day: sea kayaking, hiking, biking, snorkeling, diving, swimming and paragliding. In the evenings, we like to soak up the culture and enjoy local wine and food.

Thanks!
