What is the best time to visit Greece?

The best time to visit Greece is from mid-May to late October, offering warm temperatures, vibrant cultural experiences, and ideal conditions for sightseeing and beach activities. July and August are the liveliest months with several events and festivals being organised and islands like Mykonos and Ios going into party mode. Mid May-June & September-October brings mild temperatures ranging from 20-25°C, making it great for visiting Athens, Delphi, and Thessaloniki, exploring Crete and Corfu, and enjoying fewer crowds on the islands. November to mid-May is cooler (10-15°C/50-59°F), with fewer tourists and closed beach resorts, but it’s an excellent time to experience authentic Greek culture in cities like Athens and Thessaloniki or go skiing in the mountainous regions of Meteora and Mount Parnassus.

July to August (Peak season - Summer): The period from June to August is the peak tourist season. The country, along with the islands, comes alive with festivals and vibrant nightlife, and the beaches are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and other water activities. Expect packed beaches, lively nightlife, and high prices in Santorini, Mykonos, Zakynthos, and Crete. The Athens Riviera and Thessaloniki's waterfront also come alive with outdoor events and concerts. But these are also the hottest months with temperatures sometimes crossing 40°C, in August and in July over 35°C. Ferry connections should be booked in advance for hotspots like Santorini and Mykonos, where availability is scarce.

Mid-May to June & September to October (Shoulder Season - Spring/Fall): This season offers comfortable weather (20-25°C/68-77°F), fewer crowds, and perfect conditions for island-hopping, sightseeing, and hiking. The sea is warm enough for swimming, especially in September and October. Island hopping between Crete, Naxos, and Paros is ideal, as the weather is still warm, but ferry routes are less chaotic than in peak season.

November to Mid-May (Off Season - Winter): These months are cooler (10-15°C/50-59°F), with rainy days in the north and occasional snowfall in mountainous regions. While most beach resorts and islands close down, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Nafplio remain lively, offering a more authentic, crowd-free experience. For a winter adventure, head to Meteora or the ski resorts in Parnassus, in the north.

Specific Island Considerations:

Santorini: Visit in May or September for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
Mykonos: Similar to Santorini, May or September is ideal for a balance between good weather and fewer tourists.
Crete: March to May and September to October are excellent for exploring the largest Greek island, avoiding the summer heat.
