Heading west from Nafplio in the Peloponnese, expect dramatic changes in scenery. Turn inland and drive east toward Sparta, making a stop in the mountainside Byzantine town of Mystras.

Be sure to climb the steps to the upper town for gorgeous views of the coast.

Early October is a perfect time to visit Greece, and the Peloponnese is a great option to spend at least a few days in. Never as popular as Athens or the islands, in the early fall the tourists start to disappear entirely and you can have beautiful beaches and seaside towns all to yourself. Nafplio is no exception, and it’s only 2 hours away from Athens so makes a great starting point.
