Footnotes

Travel tips for Greece include packing sunscreen, wearing light-colored and loose clothes, visiting ancient sites early, learning a few local words, choosing the right option for sea travels, and planning ahead for rides from the airport and ferries.
BEST TIME TO VISIT GREECE
One of the best things about Greece is it’s a fantastic year-round destination. The balmy Mediterranean climate means that it’s warm in the summer and mild in the winter, allowing you to soak up the sights no matters when you choose to visit Greece.
That being said, Greece does have distinct seasons related to tourism. So you may want to plan your travels around certain months to avoid large crowds and expensive accommodation or even worse, entire towns shut down for the off-season.
Our recommendation is to visit Greece during the shoulder season from May- early June and from late September to October.
High season in Greece is during the summer months, starting in late June and lasting until the middle or end of September.
