Peloponnese Islands Tours & Trips

Best time to visit Peloponnese Islands

• Spring 2025

  Spring is when Greece truly opens up - ancient sites are carpeted with wildflowers and you can explore for hours in perfect temperatures. Our combined Athens-Delphi tours with Saronic Gulf island hopping are particularly popular this time of year. You'll get such a nice mix of experiences: perhaps starting your day among temple ruins before catching an evening ferry to watch the sun set behind a traditional fishing village. The spring markets are bursting with fresh produce, making it an excellent time for our food-focused tours through Poros. If you're feeling active, our guided cycling routes wind through olive groves and along coastal paths in ideal conditions.

  Summer calls for sailing, and our Saronic Gulf routes deliver proper maritime adventures. We'll take you swimming in hidden coves, exploring car-free Hydra and discovering traditional life on Aegina. Our trips balance active mornings with lazy afternoons and evenings eating in local tavernas. For archaeological tours, we schedule early morning visits to avoid the heat, then spend afternoons in cool wine cellars or cooking classes. Many clients choose our combined mainland-island tours - you'll explore major sites like Epidaurus and Mycenae, then cool off with swims in clear island bays.

• Fall / Autumn 2025

  Autumn coincides with harvest season, and our tours tap right into local traditions. You can help pick olives, join in wine making and explore ancient sites all in the same trip. Our travelers tell us these authentic experiences really make their trip - one day you're walking through Delphi's sacred sites, the next you're in a family kitchen learning recipes passed down through generations. We've got several routes through lesser-known Peloponnese villages where you'll meet local producers and learn their crafts. The sea stays warm well into autumn, so we still mix in plenty of swimming at quiet beaches and also hidden coves. Both Epos Travel and Pictours stand out as solid choices for exploring Greece, based on what our travelers tell us. Epos Travel's Peloponnese tours get particularly enthusiastic feedback - guides like George and Argiris really make the history come alive while keeping things relaxed and friendly. The way they organize everything, from local restaurants to site visits and cultural stops, works smoothly without feeling rushed. Pictours of Greece does similar quality work, with George (their tour director) putting together some excellent accommodation choices and finding those local restaurants you wouldn't discover on your own. Their guide Aristotle has a gift for storytelling that transforms ancient ruins into vivid scenes from the past. What comes through in the feedback is how both companies nail the basics - good planning, knowledgeable guides and authentic experiences - while adding those personal touches that make a tour memorable. It's worth noting that travelers often mention the food at both companies' tours; they've clearly put effort into finding the right local spots rather than just hitting tourist restaurants. The main difference seems to be their focus areas - Epos has really made the Peloponnese their specialty, while Pictours works across different Greek regions. Both maintain small group sizes which our travelers say creates a more intimate atmosphere and lets you actually chat with the guides rather than just listening to speeches.

• Winter 2025 / 2026

  Winter brings a different pace to our tours, with quieter access to major archaeological sites like Mycenae, Olympia and also Delphi. Our local guides make these visits extra special - they've got perfect timing for site visits and share fascinating stories about Greek history that bring ancient stones to life. We've noticed travelers really enjoy mixing cultural visits with practical activities during the cooler months. You might spend your morning exploring ruins, then warm up in the afternoon learning to cook traditional dishes in a family kitchen or tasting locally pressed olive oil. The traditional hotels we use add an extra layer of comfort to winter touring.
