Lonely Planet describes Peloponnese as: "one of the country's most diverse, vibrant regions".

Also in the top three is Aarhus, in Denmark, and Venice in Italy. Warwickshire in England also appears on the list in sixth place, and is celebrated for its "bucolic hills, sublime castles, historic market towns and unhurried Heart-of-England rhythms".
