Greek Isles Weather

[Beachbum1944]

Was looking at the weather in the Greek Isles for this week. Hot and very windy. Is it always windy like this? (10 to 35). We will be cruising early July next year.

you never know what weather will meet next year... normally, July is the more hot month in Greece (this weekend we waiting over 115 degrees in some places)... This week we have strong winds (over 35 miles) but the weekend stop the wind and start 2 very hot days and Monday maybe we have some rains:cool:

August maybe you meet strong winds special at Mykonos and Santorini and all ports (except Athens) are crowded...

 

April, May and first days of June are more easy with normal temps but as I've write maybe you have some rainy days...

 

if you want swimming best months are June and first days of September...

 

 

thanks about your feedback:)

Ah April in Greece! It may not be warm enough to swim in the ocean, but it is delightful, I can attest to that. I've also been there near the end of May, early June, and it is nice too, but getting hot by then. Fewer tourists as well.

The strong winds starting in late July through September make Delos and Mykonos in particular iffy ports that time of year, which is a major reason we went at the beginning of June this year, so as not to miss those ports as we did miss them both last September. There are many old posts about this problem. Early June worked out great, both for the calmness of the seas, and much more mild temperatures, with some nice light breezes so we baked at lot less than last September.

 

Enjoy your trip!

We will be there starting 7/3/10. The heat dosen't bother me, but I hope we don't have those 35 mph winds. Very much looking forward to this cruise.
