THIS TIME, WE'RE IN GREECE, CLIMBING 999 STEPS

TO BRING YOU THE BEST OF THE PELOPONNESIAN PENINSULA.

PELOPONNESIA WAS THE HEARTLAND OF ANCIENT GREECE.

ITS WILD AND MOUNTAINOUS LANDSCAPE HAS HOSTED

THE INTERMINABLE RISE AND FALL OF CULTURES,

WHICH MAKES FOR FASCINATING SIGHTSEEING TODAY.

THE PENINSULA IS DOTTED WITH STRIKING RUINS,

AND WE'LL ALSO SEE STUNNING SEASIDE SCENERY,

AND THE BREATHTAKING REMAINS OF A BYZANTINE CITADEL.

IN THE EXTREME SOUTH OF EUROPE IS GREECE,

A PENINSULA BARELY HANGING FROM THE MAINLAND.

THE RUGGED MANI PENINSULA, AND MONEMVASIA.

PELOPONNESIAN HISTORY IS GREECE'S HISTORY.

AS THE TORCH OF CIVILIZATION MOVED WESTWARD,

AN EVEN EARLIER CIVILIZATION THAT THRIVED

WHILE THE MINOANS ENJOYED THE LUXURY OF PEACE

WERE A MILITARISTIC SOCIETY SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES.

STANDING STRONG HERE FOR OVER 3,000 YEARS,

THESE WERE THE EARLY GREEKS HOMER WROTE OF

WITH A LITTLE IMAGINATION, YOU CAN ENVISION LIFE HERE.

FOR EXAMPLE, TO FETCH WATER, RESIDENTS WOULD DESCEND

THIS IS THE CISTERN WHERE THE WATER WAS COLLECTED,

A CIRCULAR WALL OF STONES DEFINED THE CEMETERY.

MYCENAE LAY UNAPPRECIATED UNTIL THE 19th CENTURY,

TODAY, THOSE TREASURES ARE THE STAR ATTRACTIONS
