The best time to go to Prespes is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October).During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild with plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the natural beauty of the lakes and surrounding villages. You'll avoid the intense heat of mid-summer and the colder, sometimes snowy, conditions of winter. The unique flora and fauna are also particularly evident during these shoulder seasons.For those interested in birdwatching or hiking, late spring is particularly rewarding as many migratory birds return, and the wildflowers are in full bloom. The trails around the lakes, such as those leading to the hermitage of Panagia Portiotissa, are easily accessible and offer stunning views.Early autumn is superb for travellers who enjoy a slightly quieter experience and the rich colours of the changing foliage. The water of the lakes is still warm enough for some activities, and the local produce, like beans and peppers, is at its peak.
