Weather in Greece
In order to help you to choose which clothing and accessories to put in your suitcase for your trip to Greece, we provide you certain general information on the climate of Greece!
Greece’s climate is Mediterranean with long sunshine, mild temperatures and limited rainfalls. It is characterised by great variation, due to the country’s geographic location, the intense relief and the distribution between the mainland and the sea.
In the summer, dry hot days are often cooled by seasonal winds that are called “etesian winds” while mountainous areas are more cool.
Winters are mild in the plains with little ice and snow, but the mountains are usually covered with snow.
In addition, it is a common phenomenon to combine different climate conditions in the same season (for instance mild heat near the sea and cool in the mountainous areas).
