Best time to visit

  • Peak Season (June - August) promises warm weather and plenty of sunshine and is perfect for a sun & beach holiday
  • The best time to visit is the shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) which offer milder temperatures, fewer crowds, and more affordable prices. It can be a great time for city breaks and outdoor activities

Good to know

  • It is good practice to bring some cash for small purchases in shops
  • Respect the signage and dress appropriately when visiting religious and historical sites
  • Booking activities in advance during peak season is recommended
  • There are many cycle tours or day/half-day tours for Athens, ideal for seeing the city if you are short on time
  • The pink colour of the Elafonisi beach comes from microorganisms such as Foraminifera
  • Known for its beaches, food and wine, there is no shortage of food & wine tasting tours
  • Greece can also offer an active holiday, such as kayaking around Kadamyil, hiking the Tygetus or cycling around Pilos
  • Pindus National Park is great for wildlife sightings
