Highlights of Quiet Season Mediterranean
For many travelers, fall and winter are the best times to visit the Mediterranean. The cities and villages of the coast put on a different face. Vineyards are put to bed after the harvest, the bustle has died down and the vast open squares of great cities can be seen in their more natural state: as an uncrowded gathering spot for locals, not for tourists. Visit in the quiet season and see the Mediterranean in a different light. Here are a few ways you will enjoy your journey:
- Take in the sites more fully at a more relaxed pace
- Linger at places that interest you, with fewer crowds to navigate
- Enjoy more comfortable touring in cooler air
- Celebrate a holiday in one of the world’s most appealing regions
- Delight to festive lights and markets during the holiday season
