Moderate Hiking Trails in Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian

There are 30 hikes in Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian in our database that fit. They average 7.9 km and 353 m (1,158 ft) of ascent.

That is 42 percent of the 71 routes we map in Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian.
