    Mat and Jeff compare summer versus winter in Greece's Mani peninsula. They discuss overtourism, traffic congestion, water shortages, and winter's quieter beauty. Matt admits developing "thermophobia"; Jeff prefers summer's buzz. They note fewer tavernas staying open in winter now, likely due to economic pressures, and debate visible climate shifts.
