The Peloponnese is a peninsula which constitutes the southern mainland of Greece. Named after the Greek hero Pelops, the region is home to not only Sparta, one of the most powerful poleis in the classical era, but also the Olympic Games in Elis.

In modern times, these remain the administrative units of the region with the exception of Achaia.
