Find hotels in Evrotas from £46

The best area to stay in Evrotas, particularly for those seeking a luxurious and relaxing coastal experience, is the region around Monemvasia.Monemvasia is a stunning, historic fortified town built on a small island off the Peloponnese coast. The town itself is car-free, with narrow, winding cobbled streets, Byzantine churches, and a castle at its summit. Most accommodation is found just outside the main fortress on the mainland, offering spectacular views across to the rock and easy access to beaches. This area is great for couples looking for a romantic and distinctive getaway.For families, the coastal resorts just south of Monemvasia, such as those around the villages of Xifias or Aghios Ioannis, offer excellent options. These areas feature beautiful, sandy beaches with calm waters, ideal for children. Many hotels and villas here come with private pools and direct beach access, providing a relaxed and convenient base for a family holiday.

While Evrotas is a beautiful area year-round, the best time to visit for most travellers is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, superb for exploring the region's historical sites and natural beauty without the intense heat of summer. You'll find the landscapes lush and green, and the sea is warm enough for swimming towards the end of spring and beginning of autumn. This is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway or travellers interested in cultural exploration.The summer months (July and August) are very hot, with temperatures often exceeding 35°C. While this is peak season for beach holidays, it can be less comfortable for sightseeing. However, if you're planning a family holiday focused on coastal activities and swimming, and don't mind the heat, then summer could be suitable. The coastal areas, particularly around Gytheio, will be bustling with holidaymakers.Winter (November to March) in Evrotas is mild but can be rainy, and many tourist facilities outside of the main towns may be closed.
