Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on the time of year, Greece can swing from chilly winters to scorching hot summers that top 100°F (43°C).

Tap water is safe to drink on the mainland in larger cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, but stick to bottled water if you’re in a smaller town off the beaten track or if you’re exploring the islands.
