8Ideal Weather for Exploring
While northern Europe shivers through winter, Greece enjoys mild, pleasant temperatures. In Athens, Thessaloniki, and much of the mainland, daytime weather often sits between 12°C and 20°C. Islands such as Crete and Rhodes remain even warmer.
This makes sightseeing infinitely more comfortable. You can climb to ancient sites, wander pedestrian streets, and explore nature without the intense summer heat. The off season is perfect for active travelers who want to experience Greece without dripping in sweat.
