Weather lowdown. Summer officially begins in June in Athens and the weather reflects this. The average temperature this month is 24Â°C (75Â°F), while the average low is just 20Â°C (68Â°F), and the average high is a warm 28Â°C (82Â°F). The weather this month stays relatively the same throughout.
The best time to visit Athens is in the fall and spring when the weather is agreeable and sunshine is pretty much a guarantee. Not to mention, crowds are thinner and hotel rates are cheaper. However, because of its Mediterranean location, Greece experiences warm weather throughout the year. Summer brings stifling heat and hordes of tourists, so we'd recommend avoiding Athens during this season.
