A Guide to Tolo, Greece

Tolo is located on the Peloponnese peninsula, in the Argolida region, southwest of Athens. The Peloponnese is linked to the Greek mainland by the Isthmus of Corinth, a tiny strip of land.

Much of the Peloponnese is the same as it was in antiquity — rugged mountains, tiny villages at the coastline, and hospitable locals. Many of the regions in the Peloponnese follow the same boundaries as back then too.

Whether you want to explore the archaeological sites and historical markers, tackle adventurous activities like diving or water skiing, or learn more about local Greek foods and traditional means of olive oil and wine production, you can do it in Tolo.

Diving

The bay of Tolo is a lively, undiscovered dive spot. The bay is full of colorful sea life, shipwrecks, underwater caves, and more. There is a dive shop in Tolo that can assist with all your diving needs.

Explore the nearby islands by boat

Romvi, also known as the island of Aphrodite, is home to Byzantine church ruins, citadel walls and cisterns, and the remains of a Venetian naval base. Daskalio has a small chapel dating back to 1688.

It is rumoured that during the Turkish rule, priests had a secret school on the island, to teach the local children about their heritage. Koronisi is the smallest of the three islands and is home to a tiny chapel that still holds weddings and baptisms. All three islands are uninhabited and accessible by boat from Tolo.

Hire a sail boat with a skipper
