Find hotels in Mesta from $40

The best area to stay in Mesta is within the medieval village itself, particularly around the central square, for an authentic and convenient experience.

Mesta is a well-preserved medieval village, characterized by its labyrinthine stone alleys, arched passageways, and fortified architecture. The village is compact and designed like a castle to protect against pirates, with all buildings connected. The central square, known as the "plateia," is the heart of the village, featuring restaurants and cafes.

Solo travelers and couples will find staying within the village particularly appealing. Its pedestrian-only streets offer a quiet and unique setting, allowing for easy exploration of its historic architecture and local shops on foot.

The best time to visit Mesta is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, and September, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

During these months, the temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from the mid-60s to high 70s Fahrenheit, making it ideal for exploring the village's narrow streets, enjoying outdoor dining, and visiting nearby beaches. You'll find that businesses are fully open, but you won't encounter the peak summer crowds that can make popular spots feel busy.

July and August offer the warmest weather, with temperatures often in the 80s and 90s Fahrenheit, which is great for beach lovers. However, this is also the busiest time of year, particularly with European holidaymakers, so you can expect higher prices for accommodations and more people at attractions and restaurants.

For those who prefer a quieter experience and are less concerned with beach weather, April and October can also be good options.
