Greece is a great holiday destination attracting visitors by the thousands by offering simple pleasures: delicious food and wine at reasonable prices; beautiful beaches and plentiful sunshine; quaint villages; a seemingly endless lacework of coastline; and little islands full of scenic surprises and ancient sites.
The myriad islands in the Aegean Sea are easily accessible from Piraeus, the historic harbour of Greece’s mainland capital, Athens, by ferry or hydrofoil, offering a unique chance for ‘island-hopping’. Many of the larger islands also have airports with connections to Athens or seasonally with major European cities.
The climate of Greece is Mediterranean, enjoying long hot dry summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures in Greece are tempered by the Etesian northerly wind, which blows across the Aegean Sea, and breezes called ‘meltemia’, but the mercury on the mainland regularly hits the high spots. Winters are mild and the wettest season but rainfall is generally low in most of Greece so this is not a big hinderance to travellers. In the mountainous regions, however, rainfall is heavier, snow is likely and temperatures can get severe.
The peak holiday season in Greece is summer, between June and August, when the heat and sunshine attracts millions for beach holidays. June and September are also lovely, hot times to visit and slightly less crowded. Autumn is generally a pleasant time to visit Greece as it is less hot and the weather is mild. The winter months, between December and February, are the coldest and the most variable weather-wise making them the least popular months to visit. However, for those visiting to explore Greece’s cultural and historical attractions the country can be seen as a year-round destination.
Greece is a captivating blend of rich history, extraordinary natural beauty, charming islands, and unique cultural experiences. Whether exploring the cradle of Western civilization in Athens, relaxing on the idyllic beaches of the Cyclades, or hiking through dramatic landscapes, the highlights of Greece offer endless opportunities for discovery and adventure
