Mount Taygetus, Taugetus, or Taigetus (Template:Lang-el) is a mountain range in the Peloponnese peninsula in Southern Greece. It is the tallest mountain in the Peloponnese, reaching 2,407 m (7,896 feet) at the Profitis Elias summit. The Taygetus range is about 100 km long, extending from the center of the Peloponese to Cape Matapan, its southermost extremity. The summit of Taygetus is an ultra prominent peak (2,344 m or 7,690 feet), as the Isthmus of Corinth which separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece rises only to ~60 m in altitude.
