Pelion.

For a spring escape that blends mountains, coastline and traditional Greek hospitality, Pelion has it all. Lush slopes, stone-paved paths and hillside villages create a memorable setting, whether you are planning a quiet weekend or a more active break.

Spend time in Makrinitsa, Portaria, Milies and Tsagarada, taste regional dishes and explore walking routes through woodland, past old stone bridges and village squares. With so much variety, a little extra time in your itinerary is always welcome.

Meteora.

Meteora is one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Greece. Towering sandstone formations rise above the plain, crowned by centuries-old monasteries. It is a rare combination of striking scenery, cultural heritage and quiet moments of reflection.

Spring is an excellent time to explore Kalambaka and Kastraki, enjoy scenic viewpoints and visit the monasteries. Check current opening hours, visiting days and dress requirements before you go, as these can vary between sites.

MonasteriesScenic viewpointsSuggested: 2–3 days

EXPLORE METEORA

Bath.

Bath is a charming choice for a spring city break in England. Georgian terraces, the city’s Roman heritage, green parks and independent cafés make it especially enjoyable to explore on foot. The compact historic centre rewards travellers who like to wander slowly.

Put the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge, Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths on your itinerary. Bath also works well as part of a longer trip around southern England, with time for museums, gardens and a relaxed afternoon tea.

City breakArchitectureSuggested: 2–3 days

EXPLORE BATH

Which spring destination is right for you?

Pelion for hiking and traditional villages, Meteora for dramatic landscapes and monasteries, or Bath for architecture and leisurely city walks. Think about how many days you have, your journey time and the experiences you value most.

02 / SPRING TRAVEL GUIDE

A new month.
A new way to travel.

Is March, April or May the best month for a spring getaway? Each brings different weather, daylight and seasonal experiences. Use this guide as a starting point, then adapt your plans to your chosen destination and the current forecast.

03 / MARCH

March

Early spring is a lovely time for cultural sights, village strolls and relaxed weekends. Conditions can still be changeable, particularly in the mountains, so plan a flexible itinerary with an indoor alternative in case of rain.

04 / APRIL

April

Blossoming landscapes, longer days and walking opportunities make April a favourite for spring escapes. If you are travelling around Easter or a public holiday, book accommodation ahead and check attraction opening times.

05 / MAY

May

May often brings longer daylight hours and more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Combine countryside walks with local food, historic sights or a European city break — but remember that weather still varies by region.

03 / THE ART OF SPRING TRAVEL

It’s not just where you go.
It’s what you experience.

The best spring holidays are about more than a destination. Make time for outdoor discoveries, regional food, local history and moments you could never schedule down to the minute.

Hiking and time in nature

In Pelion, woodland trails connect traditional settlements and peaceful stretches of countryside. Choose routes that match your ability, wear suitable shoes and check local conditions before setting off.

stress-free spring getaway.

CHECKLIST 01

Accommodation and booking

Choose where to stay based on your route and daily plans. Compare location, included facilities, total cost and cancellation terms. For popular weekends and public holidays, start looking for accommodation early.

CHECKLIST 02

Getting around and trip length

Allow for the journey, not just the time at your destination. A car can be useful for travelling between Pelion’s villages, while Bath’s historic centre is largely walkable. Check transport options before finalising your itinerary.

CHECKLIST 03

Weather and what to pack

A light waterproof jacket, comfortable footwear and layers are useful across much of Europe in spring. Before departure, review the forecast, activity availability and up-to-date opening hours for the places you want to visit.

05 / FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions beforeyou set off?

Practical answers to help you choose where to go, when to travel and what to do on your next spring break.

What are the best spring destinations in Greece?

Pelion is a wonderful option for travellers who enjoy nature, village life and hiking. Meteora and Kalambaka combine extraordinary rock formations with monasteries and cultural sights. The right choice depends on your interests, starting point and the time you have available.

Where should I go for a three-day spring break?

Pelion and Meteora can both work well for a short trip if your journey time allows. If you prefer a city break abroad, Bath makes an appealing stop on a wider visit to England. For three days, focus on a handful of places rather than trying to see everything.

Should I travel in March, April or May?

March is well suited to cultural outings and flexible short breaks, April brings blossoming scenery and opportunities for walking, and May usually offers longer daylight hours for outdoor activities. Temperatures and rainfall can differ significantly between regions and from year to year.

What can I do in Pelion in spring?

Visit Makrinitsa, Portaria, Milies and Tsagarada, discover regional food and explore forest trails. Research the difficulty and current condition of each route before heading out, especially after wet weather.

What should I know before visiting Meteora?

Check the monasteries’ current opening days, visiting hours and clothing rules before you arrive. Some visits involve a substantial number of steps, so comfortable shoes and water are advisable. Respect photography restrictions and the peaceful atmosphere of the religious sites.
