When to take the ferry to Rethymno?

Summer temperatures average between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius, with possible heat peaks in July and August. The days are long and sunny, perfect for a beach vacation or exploring the country's archaeological sites. However, bear in mind that this is also Greece's most touristic season, which means that places of interest can be busier and prices can be higher.

If you prefer to avoid the tourist crowds, spring and autumn are also good seasons to travel in Greece. In April, May, September and October, temperatures are mild, fluctuating between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Beaches are less crowded and accommodation rates can be lower. It's also an ideal time to explore the Greek islands, avoiding the summer heatwave.
