The best time to bring your family to Greece for great weather is usually between late May and early September, on the cusp of and through the summer season.

It is important to note that July and August are the peak summer months in Greece, so you can expect particularly hot conditions, with temperatures between the 80s and 90s Fahrenheit.

Best Months: March • April • May • September • October • November

Families with young children should consider a trip to Greece during the spring and autumn seasons of March through May and September through November.

During this time, temperatures are more manageable than in summer and outdoor experiences can be comfortably enjoyed by families of all ages.
