This is a land rich in history, myths, legends, traditions and struggles. It has always been present in the historical events from ancient times through the Byzantine era to the more contemporary historical events. There are monuments in the area from every major historical event.

There are two mountain ranges in Arkadia, Menalos and Parnonas. The magical villages of Arcadia and Arkadian monasteries are spread out on their slopes like colorful strokes of a paintbrush on a deep green canvas. In the centre of the prefecture lies the Mantinia Plateau with the historical city of Tripolitsa. The rivers of Ladona, Alfios and Lusios flow under the stone bridges and along the fjord-like coasts.
