- DODanielleOctober 01, 2018Our tour was great, but Matthew was terrible.

As a instructor myself, I understand how hard it is to keep a... Show moreTrip date: August 2018

FAQs
- How warm will it be and what clothing should I bring?
Greece's climate changes drastically, with cold winters and hot summers. In Greece from late March to May, spring brings with it average temperatures of around 15C, though the weather does gradually warm up with sunny days interspersed with rain showers. From May to the end of October, the climate is hot and sunny, getting cooler as the year progresses. By the end of October you can expect the first of the winter snows. So you must pack for cool and potentially wet conditions late in the year.
