When to go to Mainland Greece
Greece has 'almost' guaranteed sunshine throughout the peak season. Temperatures can reach 30 degrees Celcius, and even higher in July and August. The climate is perfect for enjoying the most of the sunshine, which makes up 12 hours a day.
Fancy something a bit more moderate? The temperature in autumn and spring is a bit cooler, staying within the mid-twenties, so it is an ideal time to visit. If you plan on exploring all the tourist attractions and historical sites, we'd advise you go during these cooler periods.
