Located in the south of mainland Greece, the Peloponnese peninsula (Morea in modern Greek) covers around 21,000 square kilometres. The name means "island of Pelops" after a mythological figure. It is completely separated from the mainland by the narrow Corinth Canal, which was artificially created in 1893 and is over six kilometres long.
