Question 1

When is the best time to visit Greece?

Accepted Answer

Greece is wonderful all year round, but the best time to visit will depend on what you’re looking for. Blazing sun and the buzz of cities (and islands) in full swing? Go during July or August. More of a chilled vibe, with fewer tourists? May or September will see you right. Taking huge hikes or just wanna live like a local? Go during the winter months for cheaper accommodations and flights.
