2Peloponnese, Greece
If you crave both sunshine and history, the Peloponnese offers a perfect winter combination. This region of southern Greece remains mild year-round and brims with ancient sites, coastal towns, and vineyards.
You can wander through the ruins of Mycenae, visit the theater of Epidaurus, or unwind in Nafplio’s old town with coffee by the sea. The surrounding hills stay green even in January, and olive harvest season fills the air with a rich, earthy aroma.
