GREECE TOURS

The best time to visit Greece is during spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), when the weather is warm, crowds are smaller, and conditions are ideal for sightseeing and island hopping.

• April to June: Pleasant spring weather with temperatures around 18–28°C (64–82°F), perfect for exploring Athens, mainland highlights, and the Greek islands without peak-season crowds.

• July to August: Peak summer with hot, sunny days averaging 30–35°C (86–95°F), ideal for beaches, swimming, and nightlife in destinations like Mykonos and Santorini, but also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.

• September to October: Warm seas and comfortable temperatures of 22–30°C (72–86°F), fewer tourists, and excellent value, making this one of the best periods for Greece tours and island hopping.

• November to March: Cooler months with temperatures between 10–18°C (50–64°F), best suited for cultural city breaks and mainland sightseeing rather than island-focused travel.

Overall, late spring and early autumn offer the best balance of weather, crowd levels, and pricing for most Greece travel packages.
