Tripoli, formerly known as Tripolitsa or Dropolitsa, is the largest city and capital of the Prefecture of Arcadia. It is built on a plateau at an altitude of 660 meters. Its population is 30,090, while the population of the homonymous Municipality is 47,457 inhabitants. Tripoli is the seat of the Peloponnese Region.
The ski centre is located on the mountain of Mainalo, the mountain of ‘God Pan’, the protector of stockbreeders, hunters, fishermen, and shepherds residing permanently in nature. The mountain range of Mainalo occupies the centre of the Peloponnese and a large part of the Prefecture of Arcadia.
It stretches from the plateau of Tripoli to the river Lousios in the west and from Megalopolis to the lake of Ladonas in the north, in an area of about 1,000,000 acres. The continuous variation of dozens of peaks and ravines with hundreds of mountain meadows and plateaus gives an impressive natural relief.
More than 50 peaks exceed 1500 m., among which dominate Ostrakina 1982 m., Sfendami 1882 m., Gelati 1870 m., and Aintinis 1849 m. The whole area is a vast cultural park, with remnants of ancient, medieval but also newer traditional settlements, temples, monasteries, stone bridges, watermills, cobblestones, and paths.
