A few words about some of the above resorts will help in making a decision: where all the same and when to go to rest in Greece.
Chalkidiki ─ Favorite resort of foreign and local holidaymakers. His recognition and fame The resort won due to its beaches with velvet golden sand, stretching at almost 500 kilometers, unique air of pine forests and clear water of the Aegean Sea. It is rightfully considered the most environmentally friendly in all Greece and takes up the top lines on the list of the best resorts in Europe.
Surrounding the spirit of the history and legends of the Halkidiki Peninsula. According to legends, the opponents of the Olympic gods ─ Titans lived. And he argued in the place where the god of the sea Poseidon in one of the battles with Titans dropped his trident. The shape of the peninsula really resembles a trident.

What about prices?
Of course, when planning recreation, tourists first of all coordinate him with their budget. Greece has a variety of hotels and offers holidays for every taste and wallet. If you want to relax "cheap and angry", you should schedule a trip to the so-called "low" or "small" season, which falls at the end of March and April, the end of September and October, as well as for the winter months. On the coast, many resorts work year-round, have indoor pools and provide no less interesting choice of entertainment.
It would seem that unambiguous time, when it is better to go to Greece, should be considered in the summer. After all, Greece is a country of three seas and countless beaches. But it was not there. You can safely go to Greece at any time of the year, and you are guaranteed to enjoy the trip. The main thing is to decide why you go on the road. Then the question when to go to Greece will cease to be a problem.
The high season in Greece lasts from June to September. It is at this time that most tourists come here. But this does not mean that the summer months is the time when it is better to rest in Greece. In July and August in the country too hot, on the beaches and on excursions, a sea of \u200b\u200btourists, and prices are rapidly increasing. So hardly such a rest can be called perfect.
But the trip at the end of May - early June and in September - October guarantees you a magnificent beach holiday. And from November to April, you can safely storm the ski resorts. And of course excursions and walks in museums in Greece are good at any time of the year. Yes, and thermal resorts all year round are waiting for those who want to correct the health of guests.
Winter in the understanding of the inhabitants of cold latitudes in Greece seems to be not. Weather in Greece in winter warm and rainy. In different regions of the country, the air temperature fluctuates from +5 to + 13 ° C. In winter, a rather strong wind rises. But even with such a nonlaskoy weather, the landscapes of Greece look very romantic and even get an additional charm. Well, walking on museums and rest on spa resorts no weather will prevent.
Winter in Greece is also a skiing. From November to April in the mountains of Greece there are many ski resorts for every taste. You can read more about this in the section "Ski holidays in Greece". And of course in the winter there comes the time of Christmas holidays, noisy and fun, as the Greeks love. And winter is the time of sale, so the cold season in Greece is great for shopping.
Rest in Greece in spring

All spring in Greece lasts flowering period. Wild flowers bloom, even the most arid regions are covered with greens. Fruit trees bloom in all. The most flowering peak falls on April.

Rest in Greece in the summer
The best time is to fly to Greece in the summer - this is the first half of June. It is already warm, even hot, from +25 to + 30 ° C, the sea is heated to a comfortable temperature, and the Beaches of Peloponnese, Islands, Crete Islands, Ionian Islands and many others are waiting for tourists. But the heat does not yet reach the upper points, as in July and August, when the weather in Greece becomes extremely hot. At a temperature of B + 45 ° C, even the sea is already saved, and excursions at this time cause more fatigue than interest. Even the sea saves badly.
Therefore, in summer it is better to go to Greece in July, so you will avoid crowd and high prices, and heat. And if you still go to rest in the second half of summer, it is better to go to the north of the country. Here and cooler, and traditional summer sales are no less active. And you can also go on one of the thermal resorts of the country, where you can relax well at any time of the year.

Summer is approaching. This means that there is still a little bit, and we will be able to go almost any country with a beach vacation. Yes, in summer, a huge number of countries are ready to take tourists, provide them with high-quality vacation on the seafront. One of these countries is Greece. She has long been loved by Russian tourists, because it is beautiful, interesting, sunny and not so expensive. You can even visit the country even in winter, there are no snow and frosts. But you can hardly want to walk along the sea and do not go to it. Therefore, it is better to know in advance when it is better to rest in Greece, at what time of year and where, at what resort. We tried to figure out this topic and imagine our conclusions. Let's look.
Everyone is used to that Greece is arrived for resting at sea. Greece has a huge number of islands where tourists are resting. But now many will be surprised - after all, in Greece, in winter, in winter, so as not to just take a walk through the streets of old cities, but skiing in the mountains. Surprised!? Still would! Plus there is a so-called seedy season, when the country has a real sale of fur coats. Yes, it is fur coats. In which you can walk in winter on the street and do not freeze. Surprised again?! Then let's see when it is best to come to Greece and why.
Beach season: When, weather and climate.
Let's start with your favorite beach season, which in Greece begins in May. In fact, some tourists bathe and sunbathe from April, but the authorities officially declare the opening of the season only in May. If you do not wait to wait, you can go to the country in April, and relax on the island of Rhodes or Crete. But still we recommend that you wait a bit to fully enjoy the warm sea water and the rays of the sun.
Closer to mid-May, the sea off the coast of Greece and the islands becomes warm with a temperature of up to +22 degrees. There is no strong wind, therefore the waves on the sea are moderate, suitable for swimming and relaxing. The air temperature is higher than +25, and at night about +21 degrees.
Since the beginning of summer, gradually becomes hotter. If at the beginning of June there is no longer higher than +30 degrees, then closer to the middle of summer the temperature can be observed to +37 and higher. In such weather, it is better to stay away from direct sunlight, and resting on the sea in the morning or in the evening.
The heat lasts in the resorts of Greece all July and August. These two months are the hottest. Especially hot on the island of Kos. Where the temperature annually puts new and new records with a plus sign. With a strong heat, the sea warms up to a maximum of up to +25 degrees. The Mediterranean Sea is almost never warming up to +28 and higher. Only off the coast in shallow water it can achieve such indicators.
And so, if you love foreskin and you can endure it, then Greece is in the summer it is for you.
Velvet season in Greece: When, the weather.
If you do not like heat, but do not want to risk and visit the country in the spring, then choose autumn - you won't lose.
In September, daytime temperatures go to the decline, the daylight is also reduced. Due to the fact that the sun becomes little, the air does not have time to heat up strongly and the thermometers are frozen at +24 +26 degrees. At the same time, the sea behaves calmly and in no hurry to cool showing all the same summer +25 degrees. It is considered that it is September the best month for recreation on the islands and resorts of Greece. But be prepared for the fact that the prices this month are not lower than summer, and sometimes a little higher!
October is also suitable for a beach holiday. There is no rainy yet, but the light day becomes quite small. Therefore, you can relax on the beach 7-8 hours, no more. But all these hours will be yours, and you will not have to hide from the sun at lunchtime, as it is just warm and on the street up +24 degrees. The sea becomes cooler, not higher than +23. You can swim in it, and all tourists gladly use the last warm days. Already after the twenties of October, it will begin rain, and then you can pack the suitcases and rush home.
Excursions in Greece: When is it better?
If you prefer a sightseeing beach rest, it is unlikely that you want to inspect the sights under the scorching sun. Therefore, the summer months is better to exclude from their schedule for visiting Greece. Yes, and prices in hotels will be very high, which is not suitable for those who admire the cities and beautiful places of the country.
Acropolis, temples, Pantheones, Basilica, Churches, Monasteries - all this is better to visit the spring when the beach season is not open, and prices in hotels are quite low. March and April are the most successful months. The rains end, the luminous day goes to an increase. Under the sun warm, you can walk in shorts and tires. Gardens and flowers are blooming everywhere, Greece is one of the most picturesque countries at this time of year.
Also for excursions you can choose late autumn, but you risk getting under heavy rains, which happening here often at the end of the beach season. Autumn it is everywhere the same, with rains and winds.
Winter months will also suit, but only February. December and January - these months are given to lovers of holidays and parties. In Europe and the world celebrate Christmas and New Year. Many tourists arrive in Greece, ready to meet these holidays are not in the snow, but warm. So hotels can again rise in price, and the queue in the museum and attractions are becoming more.
When in Greece, the ski resort.
In the mountains of Greece, the snow falls in December. And he melts only in April. But it does not always, much depends on the weather. It is no secret that global warming makes its adjustments to the weather map, so snow in the mountains may not be, and maybe he will not stop the days and weeks. To be exactly sure that you will be able to ride in the mountains of Greece, please contact representatives of the hotel, where you go and find out all the information from them. You can also use satellite cards, and see if it is snow in the mountains or everything is gray there.
Whatever weather. Usually in January and in February, snow in the mountains already have. So these two months are a great option. Tourists here are not very much. Someone does not know about the existence of such resorts in Greece, and someone prefers to ride and relax at the proven resorts of Austria and Andorra.
In total in Greece, 20 ski resorts that have their own routes and hotels. They are not the cheapest. Since their service is expensive due to a warm climate of the country. But not the most expensive so that tourists come here. Ride on the slopes of Greece is amazing and beautiful. When you raise the mountains, then in contrast to the same Austria will not snow, but the Earth. After skiing, you can go down to the bottom and take a walk through the streets of the city, go along the sea.
Let's summarize.
And so, to enjoy the rest of the sea, best to visit Greece from May to September. May and September - warm months. And in the summer there is hot and stuffy.
For lovers of excursions, March and April will be suitable. This month here is the least of the tourists, and the prices for hotels are most affordable.
Skiings are recommended to go to the Greek Mountains in winter and in March. To snow for sure, choose the end of January and February. At this time, it is snow in the mountains, and you can ride with the breeze on the slopes of the mountains.
Greece - One of the most vivid resorts of Europe. Here you can find all - long sandy and pebble beaches, snow-covered tops, coniferous forests, as well as completely dissimilar is the island. Still would! Islands in Greece almost one and a half thousand. Not all of them are inhabited. However, each of them has its own climatic and natural features.
Climatic zones of Greece
In accordance with the school course of geography, Greece can be divided into 3 climatic zones:
- Zone of moderate climate (Central Greece, North and Northeast of the country). It is characterized by a contrast between summer and winter temperatures.
- Typical Mediterranean Climatic Zone (southern part of the country and island). Summer is hot and dry. In winter, warm and humid.
- Separate alpine climatic zones. Meet the Mainland Greece Mountains, Peloponnese and even on some islands. In the summer there is much cooler than on the coast. And in winter and at all in the mountains come real snow winters, and the temperature drops below zero.
If you do not delve into climatic terms, you can use a simple rule. The north of Greece region, the colder will be there in the winter. In the summer, Allala is hot. Differences in temperature indicators in the summer months in different areas of the country are insignificant. Of course, in Crete, in the southern region, the average temperatures in June - August will be slightly higher than on the Halkidiki P-Ove, which is in Northeast Greece. In April - May and September - October, the geographical location of the region can significantly affect the choice of the traveler, since in the south of the country the season begins a little earlier and ends later than in other regions. A distinctive feature of almost all Greek islands are seasonal winds. Here you need to consider each island separately.
Weather in Greece
In Greece, there is no pronounced spring and autumn. Therefore, it is advisable to allocate two seasons:
- Cold and rainy (from mid-October to March);
- Warm and dry season (from April to the first half of October).
In January, February, the temperature is kept in the area +5 .. + 10 ° C on the coast and 0 .. + 5 ° C in the central part of the country. Stable minus temperatures may be observed in the mountains. In March, it becomes much warmer. And with the arrival of April and May in Greece, everything begins to bloom and fiercely. The sea gradually warms up. The first tourists appear. The hottest days in all regions of the country falls for July and August. Of course, Greece is not sugar. However, the temperature records in the summer months are impressive. Daytime maxima exceeds 40 ° C, and in the degree of seawater warm-up Greek resorts can safely compete with Asian at the height of the season.
Warm and sunny days are a kind of business card of Greece. There are three hundred days of three days. In the summer of precipitation practically does not happen. But in the winter months, rains can pour a few days in a row. Great snowfall falls out in the mountains. Snow cover on some vertices is holding almost until the summer. Sometimes the snow falls in the coastal areas of the country. Such a "gift" of nature Greeks perceive as a real apocalypse. Houses, cars, road services, and the wardrobe of Ellinov is simply not ready for such shocks.
Tourist seasons
The height of the bathing season in Greece falls in July - August. These months on local beaches do not push through. Prices for rest and accommodation reach their peak. But the holidaymakers have the opportunity to enjoy the truly warm sea.
In May - June, September - tourists on the beaches of Eldlas less. You can always find a tour at an attractive price. True, be prepared for the fact that the sea can be quite cool, especially in early May and late September.
From November to March in Greece, there are few tourists. Many attractions and entertainment do not work at all during the winter months. Domestic travel companies rarely offer batch tours to this country in the cold season. And in vain. In winter, in Greece, the tourist definitely has something to do. First, you can safely inspect tourist attractions without any bustle and noise. Secondly, there are many ski resorts in the country. Few in Russia thinks that the snow-covered peaks of mountain Greece are suitable for winter holidays. The ski season falls on January and February. The third attraction of the country in the cold season is thermal sources and spa. Equipped recreation areas are mainly concentrated in the Macedonia region.
Important!If you gathered in Greece in winter, check if the hotel has chosen is prepared for receiving tourists during the cold season. Winter in Greece are short. Therefore, apartments and hotels to the cold are adapted badly. In your room can be quite cool.
What clothes to take with you
In the summer in Greece, especially at the height of the season, very hot. Take with you clothes from natural fabrics, hats and sunglasses.
