The best time to visit Greece

Mainland Greece and the islands run on different thermostats. Athens is hot and dry in high summer, while Mykonos and Santorini are held down by the sea and the meltemi wind and rarely pass 30°C (86°F). The two shoulder seasons suit the whole itinerary at once, which is why May, June, September and October are the months most visitors choose. Here is what each season offers.

Ideal Good Cool Very hot Avg. high / low, °C

March to May

Spring in Greece: wildflowers, Easter and the Acropolis without the queues

The countryside flowers, the Acropolis is walkable in the middle of the day, and the archaeological sites belong to you rather than to the tour groups. Greek Orthodox Easter, usually in April or early May, is the warmest week of the Greek year to be a visitor: whole villages eat outdoors for days. The islands open gradually through April, so by May the ferries, hotels and tavernas are all running but the beaches are not yet full.

Summer in Greece: the islands at full tilt and the meltemi wind
June to August

Summer in Greece: the islands at full tilt and the meltemi wind

Peak season. The sea is at its warmest, the ferries run constantly and the island towns stay up late. The meltemi, the dry north wind of the Aegean, blows hardest in July and August: it keeps Mykonos and Santorini bearable, and it also cancels ferries and the boat to Delos at short notice, so leave slack in the plan. Athens is a different proposition at 34°C (93°F), with no shade on the Acropolis — go at opening.

Autumn in Greece: a warm sea and the crowds gone home
September to November

Autumn in Greece: a warm sea and the crowds gone home

September and October are the quiet favourite. The sea is still at its summer temperature after months of heating, the wind drops, prices fall and the sites are comfortable to walk again. Island restaurants stay open into October and the harvest reaches the tavernas — grapes, figs, the first olive oil. By November much of the island infrastructure closes for the winter, so this is the moment to switch the itinerary towards Athens and the mainland.

Winter in Greece: Athens at its most Greek, the islands asleep
December to February

Winter in Greece: Athens at its most Greek, the islands asleep

This is the season for the mainland. Athens is mild at around 13–14°C (55–57°F), the museums are empty, and the city runs for its own residents rather than for visitors. Delphi, Meteora and the Peloponnese are all at their most atmospheric under winter light. The Cyclades are a harder sell: hotels and restaurants shut, ferries thin out, and it is too cold and windy to swim — beautiful if you want them empty, frustrating if you want them working.

Essential information about Greece

The birthplace of Europe, spread across two seas and some six thousand islands: the Acropolis in Athens, the caldera of Santorini and the whitewashed lanes of Mykonos. Here is what to know before you go.

Capital
AthensThe Acropolis, the Plaka quarter and the port of Piraeus, where the island ferries leave from.
Currency
EuroEUR. Cards are accepted almost everywhere; carry some cash for small tavernas, island taxis and village shops.
Visa
Not required for short staysGreece is in the EU and the Schengen area. Visitors from the UK, the US, Canada and Australia can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. The EU is phasing in ETIAS, an online authorisation for visa-free travellers, so check whether it applies to your trip before booking.
Trip length
8–12 daysAthens in two or three days and the rest split between two islands. Three islands in a week means more time on boats than on land.
Language
GreekEnglish is spoken confidently in hotels, restaurants and across the island tourism trade.
Time zone
UTC+2Two hours ahead of GMT in winter and three in summer; Greece changes its clocks on the same dates as the rest of the EU.
Plugs
Types C and F230V. European two-round-pin sockets, so UK and US plugs need an adapter, and single-voltage US appliances also need a converter.
Getting around
Ferries and domestic flightsFerries link Piraeus with Santorini and Mykonos in five to eight hours, high-speed boats in less. Flying to the islands saves most of a day.
Book ferries well ahead

In July and August the Santorini and Mykonos routes sell out weeks in advance, especially if you are taking a car.

Good shoes, covered shoulders

Cycladic towns are all steps and cobbles, and monasteries ask for shoulders and knees to be covered.

Take the sun seriously

The Aegean sun is strong even with the meltemi blowing. Hat, sunscreen and water for the Acropolis, which has no shade.

Drink bottled water on the islands

On several islands the tap water is brackish or desalinated: fine for washing, not for drinking.

Take out travel insurance

Choose a policy with medical and cancellation cover. Getting off an island for treatment is the expensive part, and it is what a basic policy often leaves out.
