A Destination Beyond the Plate

Tripoli, capital of Arcadia, lies in a highland plain embraced by the mountains of central Peloponnese. A key site during the Greek War of Independence, the city’s historic squares, statues, and museums echo its proud past. Today, it blends neoclassical charm with vibrant city life, serving as a gateway to some of Greece’s most enchanting natural escapes.

From the ski trails of Mount Mainalo to the ancient ruins of Mantineia and the dripping stalactites of Kapsia Cave, Tripoli invites travellers to combine culinary discovery with adventure, culture, and connection to the land.
