Weather and climate
Thessaloniki enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with its location in northern Greece resulting in the region receiving more rain than other areas of the country, and seeing lower temperatures during the winter. Summers in Thessaloniki are generally hot and dry, and the area receives an abundance of sunshine even during the low season. The main tourist season begins in early July, but spring sees pleasant temperatures of between 15 oC and 20 oC, and although the sun can shine up to 8 hours a day, the weather can be quite unpredictable.
