Peloponnese ( Greek Πελοπόννησος Pelopónnisos ) is the name of one of the 13 administrative regions (Ez. Greek περιφέρεια periféria ) of Greece. It essentially comprises the historical landscapes of Messenia , Arcadia , Laconia , Argolis and the surroundings of Corinth on the Peloponnese peninsula, as well as a piece of the mainland beyond the isthmus. Contrary to the name of the region, this is not congruent with the Peloponnese: the western part belongs to western Greece , whereas in the east of the peninsula some communities belong to the islands regional district of the Attica region .
Regional districts and municipalities
