View Profile

Based in Tripolis, the geographical and historical center of the Peloponnese, our company, staffed by enthusiastic young people, aspires to offer high-quality tourist services in a responsible, honest and trustworthy way We appreciate that this can be done either by filling the gaps in the tourist packages offered so far or by improving them knowing quite well the place where we will be active - almost exclusively –its history, mythology, geomorphology and its huge cultural stock.

Of course we will work in the Peloponnese, a region with unrivaled cultural resources and an unparalleled natural environment, an area where it is easy to say that culture meets harmoniously with nature. It is no coincidence that in such a small place you will find six historical monuments designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Monuments, which you cannot meet in any other region of the world. With this in mind, we designed routes that will be appreciated and loved by our  customers, as these include the best beaches of the Peloponnese, crystal water rivers, falls, lakes, canyons, traditional settlements, castles and castle-cities, monasteries and churches and the most important archaeological sites. So we are addressing those who are not only interested in the “sun and the sea” but who also want to discover with us hidden treasures in the natural beauties of the Peloponnese, following divine trails and epic routes.

We look forward to welcoming you to the amazing prospects that Peloponnese offers 3 through the discovery of major destinations and the innovative design of corresponding routes, which Epos Travel and Tours proudly provides at your disposal.
