Many tourists have been to Hellas more than once in the summer. However, holidays in Greece in February and on other winter days still remain unknown entertainment for most ordinary tourists. In fact, just at this time of the year, you can discover this wonderful country from a new side.
Weather in February in Greece
It is worth noting that in February Greece welcomes guests with cool weather. But precipitation will be rare. However, it must be remembered that heavy rains often fall on the islands during this winter month. It should be noted that a spontaneous vacation in the country of the Olympic gods in February may turn out to be unpredictable. That is why many tour operators strongly recommend finding out at least an approximate weather forecast. Also, do not forget that it will be extremely difficult to feel the winter itself. A comparison with the heyday of the Russian autumn is best for determining. Snow can be seen exclusively on the mountain slopes. There will be a light pleasant frost in the air here.
The climate will change from region to region. That is why it is so important to “probe the soil” in advance in the very region where the rest is planned. Northern resorts will be as cool as possible. For example, in Thessaloniki on February days, the level of mercury in a thermometer is unlikely to rise above 10 degrees Celsius. It will be even colder on the islands. There, the air rarely warms up above 8 degrees.
Features of the February holiday on the islands
The sea in Greece during the holiday in February deserves special attention. It is quite often characterized by restless behavior. It is not surprising that pilgrimage trips to the monasteries may take a little longer than originally planned. Ferry connections to Ouranapolis are often interrupted in February. Also uncomfortable rest at the end of winter will be in the Ionian Islands. Frequent and heavy rainfall, strong chilly winds, rather low temperatures - all this does not at all dispose to proper rest. If you really want to go on vacation to the Greek islands, then it is advisable to choose Crete.
With regard to entertainment, they boil down not only to the notorious excursions "for fur". These are primarily tours to familiarize yourself with the outstanding architectural landmarks of the country.
