Weather in April

As April unfolds, Greece is firmly rooted in the splendors of spring. The southern islands and coastal areas bask under comfortably warm temperatures, making it an ideal time for outdoor excursions and appreciating the blossoming landscape. Rainfall becomes infrequent, and when it does occur, it's typically short-lived, adding freshness to the air.

The northern regions of Greece, which were formerly cloaked in winter's embrace, now enjoy milder conditions. Any remaining traces of snow in elevated areas vanish, replaced by verdant landscapes and budding flora. Even in traditionally cooler places like Florina, April ushers in consistent warmth during daytime, although evenings and nights can retain a coolness that requires light layering.

In central Greece, the transformation is equally evident. The temperatures consistently rise, and the days are characterized by clear skies and abundant sunshine. The impact of any lingering cold air masses is now virtually absent, replaced by the gentle breezes of spring.

The average temperatures range between 6.1°C (43°F) to 20.6°C (69.1°F) in Crete and the beautiful Aegean Islands. Northern Greece experiences cold nights between 4.4°C (39.9°F) to 9.4°C (48.9°F).

April’s daylight stretches further, offering extended hours of sun that illuminate the beauty of Greece's natural and historical sites. This month is particularly favored by hikers and nature enthusiasts who seek to explore the mountainous terrains under the benevolence of spring. As April transitions to May, Greece gears up for the imminent warmth of early summer, with temperatures gradually climbing and days growing longer and sunnier.
