When to go?

Peloponnese is a region you can travel to year-round, but the best times to visit Peloponnese are during May and June. At the end of spring and the start of summer, the weather in this historical region is warm and welcoming with little chance of rain. You can enjoy all your sunny days on the beach in summer, watch (and even help out with) the olive harvest in fall, and experience Christmas vibes in its cobblestone streets in winter. You can also avoid the crowd and disappointments if you visit this region during May and June. Tourists pour in during the summer season, and in winter and early spring, many attractions may be closed due to Easter and Christmas. Another great reason to travel during May is the Paleologia Festival on the 29th of May. The Paleologia Festival is dedicated to honouring the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine Paleologos, and it is the most important celebration in Mystras. You can learn more about the region’s history in the memorial ceremony and get a taste of its culture in music and sporting events.
