A brief summary:
During this tour we pay special attention to the
autumn flowering bulbs of the south Peloponnese,
like Crocus niveus, Crocus goulimyi, Crocus
boryi,
Crocus biflorus ssp melantherus, several
Colchicum species, Cyclamen,
Sternbergia lutea etc.
From our base at Anigraia we will drive through
the Parnon mountains to a
bay on the east coast. Along the road we already
can find Crocus biflorus ssp
melantherus and Crocus niveus. In this bay you
will stay in a restored
olive oilmill with small taverna close to the
beach. Here grow Cyclamen,
Sternbergia lutea, Urginea maritima, Crocus
niveus and Crocus boryi.
Along the unspoiled east coast we continue
southward to the medieval town
of Monemvasia built on a small peninsula off the
east coast.
In some places around Monemvasia we can find
Crocus goulimyi.
From here we drive to our next destination, a
hotel located at the south east
side of Mt Taygetos with panoramic views of
Taygetos.
From this hotel we will make several tours, like
to the Mani peninsula,
an offroad tour crossing Mt Taygetos to the west
coast and a offroad tour along the eastern
slopes of Taygetos towards Byzantine Mistras.
Weather depending, we will see several species
of autumn flowering bulbs.
Day 8 we will return to Anigraia, this time
following a different route through
Mt Parnon.
