Summer is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning a different kind of holiday — one that skips the long airport lines, avoids crowded ferry ports, and embraces the freedom of the open road. If you're dreaming of a Greek summer filled with authentic landscapes, seaside villages, and complete flexibility, then a Greece roadtrip should be at the top of your list.
And where should your road lead you? To the enchanting Peloponnese — a land rich in history, natural beauty, and refined hospitality. Among its hidden gems lies a destination that blends coastal charm with quiet luxury: Kyniska Hotel, your perfect stop on the road.
Why choose a Greece road trip for your summer holidays?
Taking a roadtrip in Greece offers a unique opportunity to explore at your own pace. No fixed itineraries. No rush to catch a ferry. Just you, your vehicle, and a map filled with potential. It’s ideal for couples seeking romantic hideaways, families needing space and ease, or solo travelers chasing meaningful moments. From mountain villages and olive groves to sun-soaked beaches and archaeological wonders, a road trip lets you experience the real Greece — beyond the postcard clichés. But what makes this road trip truly unforgettable is finding that perfect place to rest, recharge, and indulge. That’s where Kyniska comes in.
A Southern route worth taking: Peloponnese
While many travelers flock to the Cycladic islands, those in the know head south. The Peloponnese is one of the most underrated regions in Greece, easily reachable by car from Athens in just a few hours. It offers a magical mix of history, myth, cuisine, and dramatic scenery. Drive through olive orchards and vineyards, make stops in Mystras, Nafplio, and Monemvasia, swim in secluded coves, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets over rugged coastlines. This is the side of Greece that feels authentic, relaxed, and real. Among all the stunning stops, one place feels like a destination within the destination — the luxurious and elegant Kyniska Hotel properties.
Kyniska Hotel: Your luxury stop on the road
Whether you’re exploring the castles of Mystras or the beaches of Plytra, Kyniska Hotel offers two incredible options that perfectly complement your Peloponnesian journey:
1. Princess Kyniska Suites - Seaside Sophistication
Tucked away in the peaceful bay of Plytra, Princess Kyniska Suites combines the freshness of a beach retreat with five-star elegance. The hotel overlooks the sparkling waters of the Laconian Gulf, with panoramic views from nearly every suite. This is the kind of place where mornings begin with breakfast on your private terrace and end with a swim at Pachia Ammos, a Blue Flag beach only steps away. Don’t miss the chance to snorkel above the sunken ancient city of Asopos, visible just beneath the surface — a truly magical experience. Inside, each suite is thoughtfully designed with comfort, calm, and style in mind. Earthy tones, natural materials, and generous space create an environment ideal for restorative sleep, quiet reading, or uninterrupted family time. The Al Pa Ya Pool Bar offers fruit-filled cocktails and snacks by the pool, while the Princess Restaurant serves dishes crafted with local ingredients — from fresh seafood to homemade pies and Laconian olive oil.
2. Kyniska Palace - History Meets High-End Comfort
If your roadtrip leads you through the mountains and ruins of Mystras and Sparta, then Kyniska Palace is your gateway to serenity. Just ten minutes from historic sites and nestled at the foot of Mount Taygetus, this all-suite hotel blends classical grandeur with modern luxury. Imagine a romantic escape where you can walk among Byzantine churches by day and relax in a spa with sauna and indoor pool by evening. Ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a bit of tranquility, Kyniska Palace also caters to those who appreciate refined design, personalized service, and a deeper connection with local heritage. Enjoy fine dining at Myles Restaurant, named after the mythological king of Laconia, where traditional recipes are given a modern twist using local produce and curated wine pairings.
Activities and highlights around Kyniska
Once you’ve checked in, the area around both Kyniska properties offers much to explore:

Your car gives you access to everything — from mountain monasteries to remote beaches. And at the end of each day, Kyniska awaits with a spa treatment, a warm meal, and your private suite by the sea or the slopes.
A roadtrip to remember
The charm of a Greece roadtrip lies in its simplicity and spontaneity. It’s about stopping when you feel like it. Turning left instead of right. Finding beauty in unexpected places. And when that journey is anchored by the comfort and hospitality of Kyniska Hotel, it becomes not just a trip — but a memory.
