Why Spring and Fall Are the Perfect Times to Visit Greece

Hey traveler! I’m Vera, the founder and CTO (Chief Travel Officer) of PAREA Retreats, and I have had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing Greece in each and every season.

I grew up having a foot in Canada and Greece. I spent my summers in small villages in the Peloponnese as well as in the heart/centre of it all - Athens.

While there's no denying that the allure of summer is captivating, I wholeheartedly believe that the true magic of this enchanting country unfolds during the off seasons: Spring and Fall.

1. Super Pleasant Weather: Escape the summer heat and humidity. Enjoy mild temperatures perfect for outdoor adventures, from hiking to exploring charming coastal towns. In my experience, it's the ideal time to truly savor the Greek outdoors, comfortably!

2. Fewer Crowds = More Space: Immerse yourself in authentic Greek culture without the hustle and bustle. Enjoy leisurely strolls through picturesque villages, savor delicious local cuisine, and discover hidden gems without the crowds or overcrowding.

3. Vibrant Nature Coming to Life: Witness the breathtaking transformation of the Greek landscape. Springtime brings a myriad of colors as nature awakens, while fall paints the countryside in golden hues. It's a photographer's and nature lovers dream!

4. Cultural Immersion: Discover the heart and soul of Greece through authentic festivals and events. From Easter celebrations to harvest festivities, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for Greek traditions and customs.

5. Affordability: Enjoy luxury without breaking the bank. Take advantage of lower prices on flights, accommodations, and activities. This means you can indulge in more experiences and create lasting memories.

At PAREA Retreats, we curate unforgettable and real experiences that allow you to connect deeply with Greece. Let us guide you through the magic of spring or fall and create memories that will last a lifetime.
