- When To Travel
The most comfortable time to explore the historical peninsula is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is mild and pleasant, making it perfect for walking between the monuments and enjoying the outdoor courtyards of the palaces without the peak summer heat.
