What to pack for Greece in the winter

For a winter trip to Greece, you'll need to bring warm and comfortable clothing to stay cozy in the cooler temperatures.

Start with a few wool sweaters or thick, long-sleeved shirts as a base layer, which will provide extra warmth when paired with other items. You'll also want to pack a couple of pairs of jeans or other sturdy pants, as well as a warm coat or jacket to keep out the chill.

Don't forget to bring a waterproof and windproof outer layer, like a trench coat or parka, to protect against any rain or strong gusts of wind. Additionally, make sure to have a few scarves, hats, and gloves on hand to keep your extremities warm, as well as a pair of waterproof boots for walking around in potentially wet or snowy conditions.

These essentials will ensure you stay comfortable and stylish during your winter getaway in Greece.

Greece experiences a mild Mediterranean climate during the winter months, generally spanning from December to February.

While the southern regions, including popular destinations like Athens and the islands, enjoy relatively mild and wet winters, with temperatures ranging from 8 to 15 degrees Celsius (46 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit), the northern mainland areas and mountainous regions can be colder, occasionally experiencing snowfall.

Winter in Greece is characterized by occasional rain, particularly in coastal areas, and cooler temperatures, making it an ideal season for cultural exploration and indoor activities in cities, while also providing the opportunity for winter sports in mountainous areas.
