The Arcadians are believed to be among the oldest inhabitants of the Peloponnese. Initially divided into tribes, they united after the first millennium and founded great cities. After their subjugation by the Romans (146 BC), the region fell into decline and political insignificance.

In 1205 the Franks conquered Arcadia, founding baronies and erecting castles on the hilltops. In 1330 Andronikos Palaiologos won supremacy over the Franks. Arcadia was liberated in 1828.

Arcadia is a closed land, all mountains and high peaks with large fir forests and lush vegetation. An unspoiled land, little known, full of surprises, truly bewitching.

On the eastern coast it is washed by the gulf of Argos and the Mirtoo sea. Here and there the sea has carved fantastic bays and peninsula out of the land. In fact, whoever roams through Arcadia today will get to know a part of the country that has remained virtually unchanged since antiquity.

Arcadia is a natural wonderland whose mountain dwellers have preserved it intact up to today.
