Best time to visit Greece

Greece does not have a single best season. Its 10 destinations peak across 4 different months, which means an itinerary that moves around the country will be in the right season for some of it and the wrong one for the rest — worth building the route around.

Averaged across every destination listed, Greece is at its best in May, scoring 90 out of 100, with October close behind at 85. January is the weakest month nationally at 52. The workable window is wide — 5 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.

There is real variation inside Greece: 24 °C annually in Pátra against 19 °C in Firá. Rainfall is broadly similar throughout, from 76 wet days a year in Firá to 107 in Ioánnina.
