It is well written

''The Mycale Strait separates the peninsula from the nearby island of Samos. Named after Mount Mycale, it is only about 1.6 km (0.99 mi) long at its narrowest point, making it one of the smallest straits within the region of the Aegean Sea.  Change the first it in the second sentence to the strait'' to be more specific.

As a result, these beaches tend to attract more experienced swimmers, and locals rather than tourists. Remove comma between swimmers and the word and.

In the Cave of Zeus section, clearly establish that the cave is located within the National Park.

In the Cave of Zeus section, split the sentence The entrance is dense in vegetation, covering parts of it, and there is also a wishing tree that people tie objects to in order to make a wish, in the hope that it will be granted. into two separate sentences, one about dense vegetation, one about the wishing tree.

Its highest mountain, Dilek Dağı, is approximately 1,237 metres (4,058 ft) AMSL high Change Dilek Dağı to Mount Mycale and remove AMSL.

Events could be moved to the history section, rather than the activity section.

Optional edit-In the first sentence under the history section: For most of the area's existence, the lands from the peninsula southwards to the river delta were uninhabited by people or very sparsely settled, and were otherwise untouched by human influence., be more specific as to what peninsula and river delta are being mentioned. This may seem a bit peculiar, but it would be better to have this information than not.
