| | The Peloponnese was subsequently ruled by the Byzantine Empire, though many parts were lost to invading Venetians and Franks. | | | The island of Kythira, off the Epidaurus peninsula to the south of the Peloponnese, is considered to be part of the Ionian Islands. | | | The Franks founded the Principality of Achaea in the northern half of the peninsula in 1205, while the Venetians founded a number of ports around the coast such as Monemvasia, Pylos and Koroni which lasted into the 15th century. |

| | The name "Peloponnese" means "island of Peplos", who in legend was fed to the gods by his father, Tantalos. | | | One of the primary strongholds and battlefields of the 1821-31 revolution, the Peloponnese is the kernel from which the modern Greek state grew. | | | Traces of the Peloponnese's 3,500 year history - crumbling Bronze Age citadels, Greek and Roman temples and theaters, and the fortresses, churches and mosques of the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians and Turks - attest to the regions rich history. |
