The Greek Climate

Greece’s climate is classic Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters. The country enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine—or 3,000 sunny hours—per year. No matter where you settle, you’re guaranteed plenty of vitamin D.

The average annual temperature is 66°F (19°C), with an annual average range from 57°F to 82°F(14°C to 28°C), though summers can go up to the mid-90s.

It only snows on the mountains during winter, with sea level staying in the 50s for the most part.

Greece is, of course, prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Greece is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, and running all across its region of the globe are fault lines. Most of the quakes that happen here are minor, and don’t damage modern buildings that are built to be earthquake-safe.
