Useful Information

Greece is a Mediterranean country. It flows from the sea from the east, south and west, which significantly affects its climate.

It has a temperate Mediterranean climate:

• mild and wet winters,
• hot and dry summers and
• long periods of sunshine during most of the year.

The year can be divided mainly into two seasons:

The cold and rainy winter season lasts from mid-October to the end of March and the hot and drought season lasts from April to October.

The springtime is about mid-May, because since then, summer heat starts.

The summer begins in mid-May until September.

There is a time limitation of spring and autumn and a time widening of summer and winter.

The average temperature ranges from + 7 ° C to + 26 ° C depending on the areas.

The rains in Greece even during the winter do not last for many days and the country's sky is not cloudy for several consecutive days.

Winter bad weather is often interrupted in January and in the first half of February on sunny days, known from antiquity "Alkyonides days".

The winter season is sweeter in the Aegean islands and in June than in northern and eastern Greece.
