The Greece That Nobody Talks About
Greece in July and August is magnificent but crowded. Greece in the other ten months is, for many, better. Spring (April-May): wildflowers carpet the hillsides, the Acropolis is quiet at 9am, the restaurants are half-empty, and the sea reaches 20°C by late May. Autumn (September-October): the Meltemi has died, the light turns amber, the olive harvest begins, and the islanders who left in August return. Winter (November-March): Athens is a European capital in winter light, the ski resort at Arachova near Delphi is operating, and Meteora in February snowfall is arguably more extraordinary than in any other season. FFGR Greece operates all year, in every weather, at every hour.
