April and May are the most beautiful months when everything blooms and turns green. This is the best time to travel to historical places. In June, beautiful weather sets in for swimming and relaxing, and there are still few tourists, therefore, prices are lower.

The hottest months are July and August. On the islands, the heat is more easily tolerated due to the proximity of the sea, from where a light refreshing breeze blows. The Velvet season- September and October. The heat subsides, and the swimming season is still in full swing.

Greece can be divided into several main climatic regions. The climate of mainland Greece is similar to that of the Balkans, with cold winters and hot, humid summers.

Crete has the longest shelf life warm weather. You can swim on the south coast from mid-April to November.

In July and August, temperatures rise to 40 ° C in the shade almost throughout the country. July and August are also the time of meltemi, strong north wind, under the influence of which at this time is the entire eastern coast of mainland Greece (including Athens), as well as the islands of the Aegean, especially the Cyclades. This wind is a consequence of the resulting difference in atmospheric pressure between North Africa and the Balkans. This wind, on the one hand, brings relative coolness. On the other hand, it can cause inconvenience with umbrellas flying along the beach, late ferries, etc. Western Peloponnese, southwestern Epirus, western Central Greece (Sterea Hellas), and the Ionian Islands remain out of the meltemi's path. And winters there are not as cold as in northern Greece, however, these areas receive the largest number falling precipitation. Climate of Halkidik, Pelion peninsula and north-east islands. parts of the Aegean Sea is somewhere between the Mediterranean climate and the Balkan climate of northern Greece.

In most parts of Greece, the rainy season starts in mid-October and usually lasts until February. The hot climate left its mark on the habits and traditions of the Greeks. Therefore, in the summer, from about 15.00 to 18.00, it is time for an afternoon rest. During these hours it is not customary to make appointments or make phone calls.

Climate of Halkidiki The holiday season lasts from May to September inclusive. The average air temperature is +28..+30°C. The hottest months are July and August (the heat reaches +35 °C). The climate is dry throughout the summer, so the heat is very easy to bear. The peninsula is well protected from the winds by mountain ranges, so the sea is quite calm and warms up very well. The average water temperature in summer is +24..+26°C.

The climate of Rhodes The climate of Rhodes is Mediterranean, with mild winters and cool summers. It is not for nothing that the island of Rhodes is called the island of the Sun, because more than 300 days a year there is sunny weather here. Rhodes ranks first in Greece in terms of the number of sunny days per year. Rhodes has a fairly high humidity. Such weather in Rhodes creates optimal conditions for numerous types of vegetation, and Rhodes is literally buried in greenery and flowers. Precipitation falls mainly in winter months. (Although, what kind of winter is it if the water temperature does not drop below 16 ° C.?!) The swimming season in Rhodes begins in June and lasts until October. The average sea temperature in March-April is +18°С, May-June +22°С, July-August +25°С, September-October+24°С, November +20°С. The average annual air temperature on the island is +18°С; therefore, you can relax in Rhodes almost all year round.

Best time to visit:

Best time to visit Greece it is spring and autumn, the best months are May, June, September and October. The main part of the tourist infrastructure does not operate in winter, especially on the islands. Many hotels, seasonal cafes and restaurants close their doors from late November to early April. The schedule of transport, buses and ferries has been reduced, and some flights have been completely canceled.

The beginning of the tourist season can be considered the beginning of April, when the time comes Orthodox Easter. However, the climate makes for a great holiday from June, when most places enjoy sunny, warm weather. Mid-June to late August is high season. At this time, the temperature can reach up to 40°C in the shade, so the beaches are crowded, and the famous Greek antiquities are filled with tourist groups.

From the end of August, the number of tourists decreases, but at the same time, the conditions for recreation at this time are ideal: the blue of the sky and the warm sea will last until the end of October.

November to February are the wettest months in Greece. Winter can be unexpectedly cold, at this time on the mainland and in the mountains, snow does not surprise anyone. However, sunny days also fall and some travelers prefer this time of the year to the summer bustle.

In Greece, the weather is favorable to tourists almost all the time.

If for the most part it is always + 10 ° С, then in the mountains the temperature is always below zero. If you want to relax during the winter holidays, it is better to go to the islands - it is always 5-6 ° C warmer there.
3. February. In February, the sun gradually begins to peek out and on the thermometer it is already about + 12 ° С. This time is the most unfavorable for recreation, as it will be difficult to predict the weather due to the influence of the Mediterranean.

Weather in Greece in spring

Weather in Greece in summer

1. June. At the very beginning of summer, it is worth going on vacation with children, since it is during this period that the weather there is moderately hot and stable.
