any one got any other ideas for cheap travel to the game?

dont care about luxury but am on a tight budget - the cheaper the better!

Peloponnese isn't a town. It's a region, which is formed by a peninsular at the south-western corner of Greece. (Athens is in the south-eastern corner).

See the maps on the right-hand-side of this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnese

Peloponnese has an area of over 8000 sqare miles. (It's roughly 130 miles from north to south and 100 miles from east to west). If the holiday you mention is based at the eastern side, near to Corinth, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to travel to Athens. However, it might be much harder from some of the small coastal resorts further way. (Although, if you hire a car, it should be feasible).
