    II. Best Time To Visit

    The best months to visit Greece are June and September when the weather is warm and sunny, but the tourist crowds are fewer in most areas.

It's also worth noting that Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted, meaning you can now enjoy your trip without any worry.

    III. Weather

    Greece has mild weather compared to other European countries, making it an ideal destination. The weather in Greece is typically hot in the summer, with August being the hottest month. The weather in the Greek islands can also be windy in summer, mostly during July and August, but this can't be predicted. You may encounter strong winds, which can ruin your beach day, but no need to worry since most Greek islands are not swarmed with typhoons or storms.

    IV. Ideal Time for Warm Weather

    If you're looking for warm weather, the ideal time to visit is between June and October, but it's essential to stay protected from the scorching heat. August is known to be the most crowded month of the year, and prices of restaurants and accommodations can sky-high during this period, while May and October will give you slightly cooler weather.
