As a destination, Arcadia is most commonly identified with its mountainous part – Dimitsana, Vytina and the beautiful slopes of Menalon. At the same time, it also has a smaller, coastal side. The three days of Carnival – due to the mobile nature of the celebration – is a special time for travel: the weather can be either very cold, pleasantly warm or both. This makes Leonidio, the beautiful, seaside town of Arcadia, on the shores of the Myrto Sea and below Mt Parnonas, an excellent choice, ideal for the season especially if you decide to travel at the last minute.

The main problem we faced on our last visit here was that we didn’t have a suitable vehicle. We found our solution on the Avis website, from which we rented a car. At avis.gr, we found what we were looking for. A car both powerful and versatile enough to cope with the journey of about 200 km, but which, however, almost half of the way crosses a relatively difficult road network. We really like that Avis offers a wide variety of rental vehicles, including cars with low fuel consumption, as well as hybrid and other models. This helps us pick the right choice when fuel costs are high.
