Greece is famed for its idyllic Mediterranean climate, offering sunny days, mild winters, and warm, breezy summers. With an average of 250 sunny days a year, the weather is perfect for exploring ancient ruins, relaxing on pristine beaches, or island-hopping across the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Summers are warm without being oppressive, especially on islands like Santorini or Crete, where gentle sea breezes make the heat feel pleasantly balmy.
Greece is world-famous for its majestic 16,000 km coastline – the third longest in Europe. About 6,000 of its islands and islets are scattered around the crystal-clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, of which 227 are inhabited year-long.
