1Patras – Carnival Capital and Cultural Hub

Patras is often overlooked in summer, but in winter and spring, it transforms into one of Greece’s most vibrant cities.

Its world-famous carnival, held in February or March, is the largest in Greece, drawing thousands with parades, costumes, and parties. Beyond carnival season, Patras is home to neoclassical architecture, Roman ruins, and a lively waterfront. Out of season, it’s a perfect blend of history, festivity, and authentic Greek culture.
