The Pelion peninsula combines mountains, forests and beaches, so the weather can vary from one side of the area to the other. Your choice of season depends on whether you’re looking for the sea, nature walks or a village holiday.
The best-value way to book is with Flight Hunter after comparing dates, baggage and change terms.
Spring and Blooms
In spring the area is green and suits trails and villages. The sea may still be cold, and on rainy days the mountain roads require careful driving.
Summer on Pelion’s Beaches
Summer suits the beaches, but July and August are busier. Book accommodation in advance and plan your drives so you don’t cross from one side of the peninsula to the other every day.
Autumn and Winter
Autumn is pleasant for hiking and winter brings a mountain atmosphere. There’s sometimes snow in the higher areas, so check the forecast and road conditions.
Choosing a Base
Staying in a mountain village is very different from staying near the coast. Read our Pelion guide too before finalizing your route.
