Klein Karoo Rest Camp

Forever in search of gorgeous seaside towns? You’ve struck gold at this gorgeous site, since Ermioni (20 minutes’ drive) is spread across the Peloponnese slopes above a traditional port with a promenade lined with classic eateries serving chicken gyros, Greek salad and all that good stuff. Divers can go down under on organised excursions to the Saronic Gulf too. Into your folklore and history too? Happy days, because the Historical and Folklore Museum of Hermione (20 minutes) has historic and farming collections, period outfits and other local artefacts. If you’re more interested in taking in a few natural beauty spots, that’s more than okay too. Franchthi Cave (20 minutes) has been inhabited on and off since 40,000 BCE. The Caves of the Twins Dolines (25 minutes) is pretty sweet too, with two craters or sinkholes formed by water from the surrounding mountain, and churches in the rocks.
