How cold does it get in Greece

Hmm… similar to LA?

Hmmm but it can also snow in Greece in the mountains and north? 14 degrees F to 23 degrees F, below freezing.

The temperature in Greece varies significantly depending on the region and the season. In general, Greece experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. However, the temperature can vary:

  1. Coastal Areas & Islands: In coastal areas and on the islands, winters are generally mild. Temperatures rarely drop below 0°C (32°F), with averages hovering around 10°C (50°F) in the coldest months (January and February).
  2. Northern Greece & Mountainous Regions: In Northern Greece and in mountainous areas, winters can be quite cold. Temperatures in these regions can drop below freezing, occasionally reaching as low as -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F), and snowfall is common.
  3. Central & Southern Greece: In central and southern parts of the country, temperatures during winter are typically cooler than on the islands but milder than in the north. Lows around 0°C (32°F) can occur, especially during nighttime.

These are general trends, and actual temperatures can vary year to year. It’s also worth noting that extreme weather events and anomalies can occur, so it’s always a good idea to check current weather forecasts if planning a visit.
