The Wiki article _Tripoli, Greece_ [1] states that "Tripoli is a city in Peloponnesos, Greece, and the capital of the prefecture of Arcadia."

It's clear from the maps in the Wiki articles _Peloponnesos_ [2] and _Peripheries of Greece_ [3] that Tripoli is in the Greek Periphery of Central Greece, on the Greek mainland.

The statement above is nonsense: Tripoli is in the prefecture Arcadia, in the middle of the Peloponnese peninsula. Markussep 08:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

And also is the capital of the Periphery of Peloponnese, not Central Greece - Badseed 17:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Climate

Tripoli has the official maximum temperature reading in Greece with 58.9 centigrade recorded there back in the 1930`s. Due to its topographical positions surrended with mouantains and the dry semi- desert, the city is frequently the hottest spot in Europe during the hottest months July- September.

[edit] That 58.9 °C is highly dubious

I don't believe the 58.9 °C number. Somebody has probably pulled our leg. The generally recognized high worldwide is only 58 °C. Gene Nygaard 16:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
