Greece Weather
Athens: The weather in Athens is quite predictable and easy to plan for. However, hot days up to +22° during winter are not uncommon. If you plan on visiting Athens between June and October keep in minf that the morning and evening temperature usually is excellent but during the day, Athens can be very warm. At night you can enjoy Greek food and drinks, while wearing just a T-shirt, on some nice terrace in Plaka, Monastiraki, Psirri or Anafiotika. Winter is mostly pretty mild and starts about November. Autumn and spring can be chilly and wet but you won’t need much more than an umbrella, a windbreaker and warm sweater.
Santorini: Santorini is one of the most spectacular places in the world and is matched by equally amazing weather. Santorini has a mild Mediterranean climate, just as the rest of the Cycladic islands and enjoys year round agreeable conditions.
