Greece is a year-round destination
Did you know that you can enjoy holidays in Greece during all seasons?! Summer, spring, autumn, or winter, all seasons promise amazing family experiences. Some Greek destinations guarantee relatively warm temperatures and sun all year round, which makes them a delight to explore.
The islands of Rhodes, Crete and are such places. They have a very mild climate, and you can swim in the sea until October. Athens is colder, and sometimes it even snows in winter. But even the Greek capital enjoys many days of sunshine and high temperatures in the winter too! Greece truly is a destination that can be enjoyed throughout the year!
