Planning on visiting Greece in November, December,
January, February or March? Not sure what to do or what the weather will
be like? Not to worry, there is something for everyone in Greece, any
time of year.
Be warned and plan on it being wet and cool while you
are here. Greece is known for sunny days but it is not always sunny.
Rhodes being the sunniest place in Greece, averaging about 280 sunny days
per year. Yet, even with so many sunny days, snow is still possible anywhere
in Greece.

If snow is what you are after, then you are in for a
treat. Nearly 80% of Greece is comprised of mountains and hills!
Mount Parnassus is one of the best ski destinations in the country
offering powdery slopes for everyone from beginner to expert. The accommodations
in the area are superb with rooms that offer their own private fireplaces and
views over magnificent areas. Oh, and don't even get me started on the
foods and great little shops in Delphi and Arachova. This area is awesome for
everyone to visit as it is rich in history and culture let the skiers ski, I’ll
be in a taverna sampling the local saganaki.
For the adventurous who want to see it all, there are
mainland tours starting in Athens as your base and going out for day or up to 4
days. The 4 day/3 night Classical Tour that has it all and is perfect for
a first time visit to Greece. If you couple that with a few nights in
Athens at the start and one at the finish, you have a perfect week in Greece.
Not only that but the tours tend to be in the 10-20 person range during
this time of year so you are actually doing it on something like a semi-private
basis. The stops and restaurants on the tour are very well organized and
the guides are fantastic. Pricing is also more affordable during this
time of year.
