The perfect time to visit Greece is during the summer months from June to late September.
Expect warm weather, sunny skies, and low rainfall — perfect for beachgoing, watersports, or exploring. Don't forget to stay hydrated and get some shade!
Late August to mid-October is less busy but cloudier — still great for exploration but more likely to rain on you while lazing on a beach. If you don’t mind some cloud, you’ll get to see Greece at its quietest around here.
The Greek winter, from December to March, is mild and cloudy, but warm Greek welcomes should help fix that if you fancy a Greek getaway for Christmas — a huge celebration in the country, especially on the islands, where festivities can last several weeks.
