Understanding the best time to visit the Peloponnese requires careful planning to avoid seasonal extremes. I visited the region in late May when wildflowers were still blooming across Arkadia, the sea was warm enough for swimming, and Mycenae had only thirty people at 8am. That is the experience I want you to have. Timing matters…
Most people driving through the Peloponnese reach Areopoli, look at the road south, and turn back. The road looks like it goes nowhere. That’s exactly where the Mani Peninsula worth visiting argument begins. The Mani is the middle finger of the Peloponnese, the most southerly mainland point in Europe.

If you’re wondering whether the Peloponnese is worth visiting, that answer tells you something. But let me give you a more useful one. This is the…
