![]() ![]() If you want to visit the Dodecanese islands, for instance Rhodes, or Crete, keep in mind that the more south you go, the higher the temperatures will be. Many islands or other seafront places on the coastline of Greece, however, are practically empty, since most facilities are closed from October to April. ![]() Mediterranean winters are generally considered mild and swimming all year long is definitely a possibility, especially for those used to colder environments. You can still enjoy the beach when the temperature is at around 23 ☌, although the sea waters may still be somewhat cold in May. The sunniest days can start as soon as May and continue until early October. Temperature-wise, to get the most out of your days spent on the beach, the best time to visit the Greek islands is June, early July and September, when the weather is at its best and you get to avoid the frequent heat waves and tourist crowds of August and mid-July. If you’re not a fan of big crowds but are only able to travel during the high season, we recommend visiting some less touristy Greek islands where you can have peace of mind, such as Syros, Serifos, Ikaria and many more islands. ![]() It should be mentioned that the good weather conditions make this time of the year great for water sports, especially at the windy Cyclades such as Paros and Naxos. The regular ferry schedules that connect the islands to one another create perfect island-hopping opportunities, although this is also possible in May, June or September, right before or after the high season. This is the right time to visit islands mostly known for their vibrant nightlife, such as Mykonos, and experience the vividness of their busy alleys! On the bright side, July and August are the best months to swim in the sea and the tourist facilities work nonstop to keep everyone happy. Many places tend to get overcrowded -although Greece has over 100 islands, overtourism is still a thing- and the temperature rises as well, making it very likely to encounter a heatwave between 30☌ and 40☌. The most visited destinations in Greece during the high season are certainly the Greek islands, with the most frequented ones being the Cyclades and Crete, while other islands or seaside resorts on the mainland achieve high occupancy levels too.īooking in advance is a must if you’re planning to visit at this time of the year, since prices go up and the availability may be limited. Greece is widely known for its stunning seascapes and abundance of sunlight and the most popular time of the year to visit it is July and August, when not only visitors from all around the world but also Greek people take a break from the workload and recharge their batteries by travelling. ![]()
