The weather in Greece
Greece is a large and topographically diverse country so there are many different climates. For the most part, the weather follows a typical Mediterranean climate pattern with hot, dry summers and mild rainy winters. The country receives a lot of sunshine, for which it is rightly famous, and prolonged stretches of rainy weather are uncommon. There are really only two seasons in Greece: hot and dry between April and September; mild and wet from October to March.
There are, however, very varying weather patterns across the country dictated by the topography and distance from the coast. The high mountains, for example, have a very different climate to the islands; inland areas see more pronounced seasons than coastal areas; the south is hotter and drier than the north.
