Season notes from our guide
The best months are May to early June and mid-September to October: spring brings wild flowers and orchids, and in autumn the sea is still warm. July and August are hot and humid for long days on open tracks, and beds in the resorts are busy. The trail is open all year, but most rooms and tavernas in the beach resorts and villages close from late October until late April or May, and after heavy rain some paths are muddy and streams hard to cross.
