Average time to visit

Greece is a summer destination, and typically the best time to visit is between late April to late October. On average, the warmest months of the year are July and August, when the beaches and towns are more crowded with other visitors. June and September are good months to visit, when the villages are quieter but temperatures are still very pleasant. Rain is unlikely during the high summer but occasional storms occur in the late summer.
