Hi mccamish,

You don't have to repost your message.

Just "top" your old message, as I am doing with this one.

PS, that's an awful lot of traveling. When will you have time to see anything.

You are trying to see way to much. You will be tired and wont remember half of it. Cut your list in half and enjoy yourself.

Hey Ken, I'm doing a similar trip in August but I'll be there for 2.5 weeks. My first suggestion is to get the Lonely Planet book that is just for the Peloponnese its written by David Willett and you may have to order it online.
I've only been on a bus once in Peloponnese but I can assure the bus was actually very nice much better than I expected. All of the areas you want to go to are serviced by buses but Zahlorou would be easier to get to by train. If you catch the train in Athens that goes to Patras it stops in Diakofto than you can take that famous old train ride up to Zahlorou.
In case you change your mind about public transportation I found a very reasonably priced car rental place in Nafplio called Safeway.

Thankyou for the feedback. I will have to relook at the time and try to extend.
If not possible, what would you cut, and why?
Thanks

As you were advised before put a title into your heading so people know which country you are talking about.
Your question is far too general, suggest you search the distances for a start and then look at bus schedules to match them up.
