The best time to visit Elliniko is during the spring (late April to early June) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant for exploring.
During these shoulder seasons, the temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking along the Lousios Gorge or exploring the ancient ruins of Gortys. You'll also find the natural scenery, particularly the lush greenery and blooming wildflowers in spring, to be at its most beautiful. These months also avoid the peak summer crowds and higher prices, offering a more tranquil experience.
For those who enjoy warmer weather and swimming, July and August are also suitable, with average temperatures around 30°C. However, be prepared for larger crowds, especially at popular beaches along the Peloponnese coast, and ensure your accommodation has air conditioning. While the heat can be intense for strenuous activities, it's great for relaxing by a pool or at the coast.
Conversely, winter (November to March) can be quite cold and rainy, with some guesthouses and restaurants closing for the season.
