High Season
The high temperatures and the large number of tourists between May and August mark the Greek summer days. The prices these weeks are usually high and it is advisable to book restaurants and accommodation in advance
Shoulder Season
April, September and October are months with reduced flow of tourists. The weather in April is cool, September shows a warm and appetizing climate and October dazzles with the autumnal colors. They are suitable months to visit the islands for the unbeatable weather.
Low Season
Temperatures go down, as does tourism. Prices go down and availability in hotels and restaurants is immense (especially on the islands). The climate usually decreases throughout the country and is very unstable, with snowfall in many areas of the country.
Your trip to Greece

Your travel to Greece has about 33% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.
Of your yearly CO₂ Budget
33%
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends.
If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
