Spring is one of the best times to visit Greece to experience all this amazing country has to offer. With temperatures ranging from 15-30℃ across the country, a springtime holiday is ideal for a range of activities.

Warm weather and relatively small crowds make spring a good time to visit Athens before the summer heat and tourists set in. Immerse yourself in the region’s rich Ancient Greek heritage with a trip to the iconic Acropolis or sample some delicious Souvlaki from an authentic street food vendor as you wander through the city centre.

If you’re visiting Greece in May, you can make the most of the glorious weather with a trip to one of the stunning Greek islands before the summer season really gets started. Wander through the stylish boutiques of Santorini, or relax on one of Crete’s beautiful beaches before they get too busy.

With temperatures in the 30s and high tourist numbers, planning a summer vacation in Greece can be tricky. At Scott Dunn, we’ll advise you on everything from crowd-beating activities to the best beaches and places to eat, to help you create your ideal trip during these peak months.

We recommend escaping the summer tourists with a trip to one of the lesser-known islands, like Sifnos and the other Small Cyclades. The warm weather makes a vacation to these destinations ideal for relaxing on the beach or enjoying thrilling water activities with the family.

For something a little different, take a trip to the idyllic Halkidiki peninsula to enjoy secluded beaches and beautiful pine forests alike.

While the summer season might be busy, autumn is one of the best times of year to visit Greece if you’re looking to avoid the crowds.

September and October are the best times to go to Greece’s more popular islands, like Mykonos and Corfu. With warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, you can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and beaches without worrying about tourists taking over. Why not let us arrange you a private sunset cruise along Santorini’s coastline for the perfect finishing touch to a romantic getaway?

Autumn is also a good time to visit popular sites in Athens and the surrounding areas as the summer crowds begin to die down.

As temperatures start to cool, a winter holiday to Greece may not be top of your list. But, while many of the islands close down between December and March, most of the mainland’s historical sites remain open and are typically very quiet.

This makes winter one of the best times of year to visit Greece if you’re interested in this country’s fascinating cultural heritage. The Peloponnese, for example, is home to many historical sites, including Olympia, the town where the Ancient Olympic Games were held.
