  • Best Time to Visit

    The best time to visit Athens is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to early November), when the weather is warm but not too hot, and the city is less crowded. These seasons are perfect for sightseeing, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures ideal for exploring ancient ruins and outdoor cafés. Summer (July and August) can be very hot, especially during the day, but it’s also when the city comes alive with festivals and nightlife. Winter is mild compared to much of Europe, making it a quieter and more relaxed time to enjoy the city’s cultural attractions without the crowds.
