About this place
Tripoli sits at the heart of the Peloponnese, serving as the capital of Arcadia. Its inland location makes it a practical transportation hub, with motorway connections to Corinth, Patras, Kalamata, and Sparta. The city is compact and walkable, centered on a historic core defined by old Ottoman-era walls and two main plazas. For travelers, Tripoli feels more like a working regional center than a dedicated tourist town, but it rewards a stop with genuine local character and easy access to the surrounding historical sites of the central Peloponnese.
