When to go

There’s plenty to see and do in Greece all the year round. Summer sees the country in full swing, with lots of tours and activities on offer. Spring and autumn are a more peaceful time to explore the coast and countryside. Many resorts close in winter – plan carefully and you could enjoy many regions almost to yourself.
