Best Time to Visit Greece
Best Time to Visit Greece
It’s no mystery that Greece is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. After all, it was the seat of power and knowledge for millennia, and some of that charm still permeates its cobbled streets. If you are not too crazy about the culture and the stunning architecture, you don’t have to worry – there is plenty of natural beauty to go around as well, from rolling hills to sparkling blue seas. The best time to visit Greece depends on your preferences, including weather, crowd levels, activities, and budget. This guide will walk you through the offerings of each season, helping you make an informed choice before you embark on your trip to Greece.
Greece in January: Weather, Tips & More
Greece in January: Weather, Tips & More
Greece conjures the image of sunny coasts, azure waters, and sailboats gliding under a radiant sun. However, few are aware that the country is a lovely place to visit almost throughout the year, including in the winter when its mountains are decked in white and peaks glisten in the morning sun.The weather in Greece in January can get a little unpredictable, with parts of the country receiving snow. Plus, this is the coldest month in the country, and traveling to Greece at this time of the year can limit your travel options if you plan to visit its islands, since finding transport could be difficult (though not impossible). That being said, this is the time to take full advantage of low-season rates and pack some splendid destinations in your itinerary — from the atmospheric Old Town of Rhodes to Athens with its ancient architecture and Byzantine churches.
Greece in February: Weather, Skiing and More!
Greece in February: Weather, Skiing and More!
Greece in February might not be suitable for the perfect Instagram post. The sky is overcast, the weather chilly with frequent bouts of rain, and snow can be seen as far down south as Peloponnese and Crete. But do not disapprove of the destination just yet! Greece in February is a beacon for budget travelers who are excited by out-of-the-box experiences. Now is the time for a crowd-free cultural exploration of Athens and to indulge in the gastronomic capital of Thessaloniki. While snow seekers can ski down the intimidating slopes of Mount Parnassus, sun-seekers can still find some warmth and relief in the southern islands of Rhodes and Crete. Safe to say, there are plenty of things to do and places to visit when on a trip to Greece regardless of during which month you are visiting.
Greece in March: Weather, Beaches and More!
Greece in March: Weather, Beaches and More!
Touring Greece in March comes with many perks. It is the end of winter, and although visitor numbers start to increase, the country is not yet crowded. The weather begins warming up this month and you can expect several mild sunny days during your stay in the country. Discover the highlights of the country like the Acropolis of Athens and Delphi at your own pace, without the distraction that comes with tour groups all around.The weather in Greece in March is also ideal for an island getaway, especially if you plan to visit popular places like Santorini and Mykonos, which travelers inundate during the peak summer season.

Greece Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Greece tours

Anonymous | Traveled in September

Accommodation is basic, but exactly as described, and more manageable than we feared. We really enjoyed the trip, and would have liked to spend a few more days on the boat. Food on the boat was excellent, loved the lunches. Loved swimming off the boat after the walks. We'd have preferred an earlier arrival at the boat - it turned out all the passengers bar 2 had been hanging around Athens airport all afternoon, and the 2 could have arrived earlier.

Jonathan | Traveled in September

A fabulous holiday. Accommodation was compact and fairly basic as expected on a small boat. Itinerary was very good and had to be slightly modified due to weather conditions. Our tour leader Thanos was excellent. His passion, enthusiasm and interest was infectious. A great group of fellow travellers helped make this a lovely trip. Food on board was excellent. Food in the various tavernas was variable.

Edwina | Traveled in September

An amazing experience in Greece. We participated in 3 cooking lessons which were all different and fantastic fun. Learnt a great deal about Greek cuisine and learnt many new skills The tastings of olive oil, ouzo, honey and wine were extremely informative and very enjoyable. The transport was excellent as were the drivers. The tour leader was very knowledgable, approachable and helpful. A fantastic tour which we would highly recommend.

Susan | Traveled in September

Beautiful places and weather. We enjoyed a very wide range of activities eg swimming from beaches and boats as well as the hotel pools; walking across the interior of several islands and visiting ancient archaeological sites.

Basab | Traveled in September

I cannot recommend this Peloponnese tour highly enough. From the very start, the pre-trip notes were excellent: clear, detailed, and genuinely useful in setting expectations. The itinerary was exactly as described, with no hidden surprises other than the pleasant kind — the kind that make you feel you’ve stumbled onto something special. The level of fitness required was accurately flagged, so nobody felt over- or under-prepared, and the accommodation throughout was comfortable, well-chosen, and in keeping with the character of the region. Particular praise must go to our outstanding trip leader, Sapfo and bus driver, Giorgios. Both went well above and beyond: not only in the smooth running of the journey itself, but also in steering us toward local tavernas and eateries where we enjoyed the full spectrum of Greek cuisine. Their knowledge, humour, and quiet efficiency made the trip feel effortless for us, while delivering memorable meals and experiences that would have been impossible to arrange on our own. Finally, as every seasoned traveller knows, group dynamics make or break a tour. In this case, the 12 of us got very well. The camaraderie, shared laughter, and easy rhythm of the group amplified everything else that was already first-rate. In short: a perfectly balanced mix of planning, professionalism, and personality. A tour I’ll be recommending wholeheartedly to anyone considering Greece. One or two of the hotels weren't as modern as some, but their exquisite locations proved more than adequate. Two places that will stay close to my heart are Nafplion (the perfect day trip from Athens for those already booking ahead) and Monemvasia. The climb up to see the beautiful Byzantine frescoes in the second and the view from there will reward all who make it down safely and a refreshing swim afterwards is the perfect tonic (remember your cossies). Bravo Explore! Bas

The best time to travel to Greece

The best time to visit Greece is during the shoulder seasons of April–May and September–October, when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are thinner. Summer (June–August) offers vibrant island life but can be hot and busy, while winter (November–March) is quieter with cooler temperatures. Explore our guide for a seasonal breakdown.

Optimal duration to explore Greece

For a well-rounded experience, we recommend spending at least one week in Greece. This allows you to visit historic mainland cities like Athens and Delphi before heading to islands like Santorini or Mykonos. If you’re short on time, a 5-day itinerary can focus on Athens and one island. For a deeper dive, spending two weeks in Greece lets you explore destinations like Thessaloniki, Nafplio, and Corfu. Check our guide on how many days to spend in Greece to find the perfect itinerary for yourself.

The must-visit islands in Greece

Greece has approximately 6,000 islands and islets, with only around 200 inhabited. Among the must-visit islands, Santorini stands out for its breathtaking sunsets and volcanic beaches, while Mykonos is famed for its lively nightlife and charming old town. Crete, the largest island, offers diverse landscapes and rich history, whereas Rhodes boasts medieval architecture and stunning beaches. Corfu impresses with Venetian influences and lush greenery, while Naxos and Paros blend beautiful beaches with traditional charm. Milos showcases unique rock formations, Zakynthos is home to the famous Shipwreck Beach, and Hydra offers a peaceful, car-free escape. Each island has its own unique charm, catering to history lovers, beachgoers, and adventurers alike.

Packing essentials for a trip to Greece

Greece is the ideal summer destination, so you are more than likely to spend most of your time outdoors. So, do not forget your summer essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and comfortable hiking boots. Also, many cruise ship casinos and restaurants require formal dress at night. Thus, you may want to bring a jacket or dinner dress along.
