It’s fun to travel to a big city with lots going on: we love all that there is to do in a large metropolitan area like Atlanta or Savannah. However, don’t you sometimes just want to get away to somewhere peaceful? If you find yourself looking for a peaceful town in Georgia, it doesn’t get much more tranquil than Winterville. This little suburb of Athens is the perfect blend of a quiet country feel while still being close enough to a city that you can find more than enough fun attractions. When I travel to a new place, I love checking out the local small towns: they give you such a wonderful feel for the area’s culture and people. Whether you’re looking to relocate or just visit for an afternoon, there are lots of things to do in Winterville, GA that make it a great place for a getaway.

Winterville is a quick 20-minute drive outside of Athens. The city's population is around 1,100, large enough to have events and attractions, but not so big that it feels overwhelming.
