The best time to schedule your Athens city break is for spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The weather is pleasantly warm with loads of sunshine, which is ideal for exploring Athens by foot. Tourist attractions and hotels are also less crowded. If you want to beat the crowds and have the Acropolis all to yourself (sort of), travel in the quieter and cooler winter months. Athens has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, and the weather is divided into two main seasons: scorching, dry summers and mild winters with the occasional rainfall. July and August are the hottest, driest months with daily average temperatures in the high 30s
