PELOPONNESE

The Peloponnese, Peloponnesos or Peloponnesus (Greek: Πελοπόννησος, Pelopónnisos; see also List of Greek place names) is a large peninsula (technically an island since the 1893 construction of the Corinth Canal) and region in southern Greece, forming the part of the country south of the Gulf of Corinth.

During the late Middle Ages and the Ottoman era, the peninsula was known as the Morea (Greek: Μωρέας, colloq. Μωριάς, Morya in Ottoman Turkish), a name still in colloquial use.The peninsula is divided among three peripheries of Greece: most of it belongs to the Peloponnese Periphery, and parts belong to the West Greece Periphery and Attica Periphery.
