Map of the Peloponnesus from E. Curtius

With the advent of Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832, and
Britain's support of the independence movement in the previous decade, the
Peloponnesus opened up to tourists and researchers alike. With
routes that took them inland from Messina and Corinth, they left detailed
accounts of the Lykaian remains in the 19th Century.
