Best time to travel to Greece
The best time to visit Greece is during the spring and early summer months, from April to June, and then again in the fall, from September to October.
During these times, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 18° in April to 28° in June and then dropping back down to 22° in September and 16° in October. These months are ideal for exploring popular destinations such as Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete.
In the spring, the countryside is in full bloom, making it a great time for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring the ancient ruins. The beaches are also less crowded, and the sea is warm enough for swimming.
In the fall, the weather is still warm, and the sea is at its warmest, making it a perfect time for a beach vacation.
During the peak summer months of July and August, temperatures can soar to 35° or higher, and the popular tourist spots can become overcrowded. However, if you're a fan of hot weather and don't mind the crowds, this could still be a good time to visit the Greek islands for a beach holiday.
