Country Overview
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Greece is during spring (April–June) and fall (September–October), when the weather is warm, the sea is calm, and the crowds are smaller. These months are perfect for exploring Athens, island hopping in Santorini and Mykonos, or relaxing on the beaches of Crete.
Spring & Fall: Offer mild temperatures and crystal-clear waters — ideal for sightseeing, sailing, and outdoor dining.
Summer (July–August): Hot and lively, great for festivals and nightlife but often crowded on popular islands.
Tip: Visit in May or late September for ideal weather, beautiful light, and a more relaxed travel experience.
