Winter Sun in Athens, Greece

While Athens bakes in high temperatures and enjoys long sunny days in the summer, the weather turns colder and wetter during the winter months, so a winter sun holiday in Athens may be something of a disappointment. During winter, many hotels and restaurants in Athens close, along with many of the tourist sights, but if you do wish to stay in Athens in winter, you may be able to get good deals on accommodation and you won’t have to put up with crowds of holidaymakers. While temperatures won’t be freezing, it’s often quite wet in the winter and though this is not a good time for sightseeing, you may see a more authentic side of Athenian life, and you won’t have any trouble finding a cosy café or bar to relax in.
