If that question has ever crossed your mind, you’re in for a wintry treat.
Greece has a lesser-known but no less fascinating aspect to it than its well known beaches and historic sites. This Mediterranean jewel, tucked away in southern Europe, transforms into an unexpectedly lovely wonderland in the winter months when it dons a pristine white coat.
Snow can fall between the months of November and April, with the Northern regions receiving the most snowfall. Greece is commonly known as a warm destination, with paradise-like islands surrounded by sparkling turquoise water. However, the country also experiences snow during the winter months. The frequency and amount of snowfall that a region receives depend on its location. Areas on the mainland are more prone to experiencing more frequent and heavier snowfall than those on the islands.
Snowfall generally occurs at the beginning of the winter season. However, snow can fall as early as November and last until April, providing ample time to enjoy the country’s beautiful white landscapes. January is the coldest month of the year with the lowest amount of sunlight hours per day, as well as the highest number of rainy days per month. January is also the month that experiences the most snowfall in the Northern regions of the country, followed closely by February and December.
