Best Time To Visit Greece?

Are you considering visiting Greece, the birthplace of democracy and the Olympics? The climate, events, tourism and prices change throughout the year. To find out the best time of year for you, keep reading.

Spring in Greece

Months: April – June

Spring is the best time to visit if you favour warm weather instead of stinking hot. The temperature ranges from 10 to 26 degrees Celsius from April to June. The streets and attractions are also quiet during this time of year, as the primary tourist season has not yet started.

If you choose to go during Easter, be warned that Greece is a hectic time. Hotels are more expensive and usually full due to international visitors and the Greeks being on holiday. Also, many primary tourist attractions are closed for the bank holiday, so it is not the most convenient time to explore.

Summer in Greece

Months: July – September

Greece is Hot, Hot, Hot during the summer months. Temperatures regularly reach 30 degrees Celsius, and summer heat waves often take hold for a few days. When this happens, you must be by the sea to cool down.

If you are a beach lover, now is the time to lie back, relax and forget about everything.

One of the most beautiful and trendiest places to visit during summer is Santorini. It’s a popular place for rich and famous honeymooners. The white sand beaches are a paradise, and the bright white buildings with sky-blue roofs will have you taking so many photos your Instagram account will explode.

It’s an island of relaxation by day and continuous partying by night. Another wonderful island worth a visit to is Mykonos. Similar to Santorini but more down to earth. The seafood here is to die for.

Greece, Beach

 

Autumn in Greece

Greece is more than a continuous beach fest. During Autumn, visit the mainland to explore. Visit places like the capital city, Athens, the small town of Olympia and the Island of Crete. They all offer historical and cultural experiences that you will never forget. Discover Greece’s countryside to see all the bright colours change and the leaves start to fall.

If you love Mediterranean cuisine, this is the time to visit, as many harvests are ready for eating. For example, juicy olives are ripe and ready to be consumed; they are great in a salad or as a snack with bread.

Winter in Greece

Months: January – March

For the start of the year, visit Greece and explore like a local, not a tourist. Hotel prices are at their lowest, and tourists are few and far between. Walk the streets and visit some of the best museums on the planet, like The Acropolis Museum. Blend in with a coffee in the vibrant café culture. In February, the temperature is around 13 degrees, so depending on where you are from, there is a good chance it is warmer in Greece than at home.
