Greek islands in October? Greek islands in November? Greek islands in December? In the early period, you still find a mild climate and can enjoy some nice swims. However, as time goes on, the sea will cool down as well as the air, but it never gets really cold. Autumn on the Greek islands, besides being a good period for sailing, as the Meltemi wind has calmed down, offers the spectacle of nature full of colors and beautiful semi-empty beaches. Many sports are more enjoyable due to the absence of extreme heat, and visiting archaeological sites, monuments, and characteristic villages (taking an umbrella...) becomes more feasible. Not to mention, this period is definitely very economical, even though connections and classic tourist services are reduced. Regarding the climate, we covered the topic in the article "Clima isole greche: meteo e temperature per ogni arcipelago".
If you want to visit the Greek islands in October, you will find a perfect climate for cultural walks among archaeological sites, as well as nature walks and nearly deserted beaches. Swimming is still possible (especially on the southern islands) on sunny days because the sea has not yet completely cooled. The islands are adorned with the warm colors of autumn, and the villages are once again mainly populated by residents, who are therefore more approachable. If you are on holiday on October 28th, you should know that it is a national holiday: it commemorates the Greek government's refusal of Mussolini's request to station Italian troops on national territory. Weather – The climate is still pleasantly warm, but there are starting to be some days with rain. The sea temperature is about 22°C, while the air temperature ranges from 19°C to 25°C.
If you want to visit the Greek islands in November, you will be able to witness (and maybe even participate in) the olive harvest. You can fully enjoy solitary walks in scenic places, in close contact with nature, with a climate that is not too harsh. Weather – The climate is still fairly mild, although with some rainy days. The sea temperature is about 19°C, while the air temperature ranges from 15°C to 21°C.
If you want to visit the Greek islands in December, you have probably chosen the Christmas period. Take a look at the article "10 isole greche dove trascorrere Natale e Capodanno". It will be an interesting experience to be on a Greek island during this time because these festive days are very important to the Greeks and celebrated in a somewhat different way than ours. Weather – The climate is now cool, and rainy days are more frequent. The sea temperature is about 17°C, while the air temperature ranges from 11°C to 17°C.
