Greece in Winter
Written by Sasha, January 2013
Comment from Sasha
Greece is known as a summer destination but there are plenty of reasons to visit over winter. Prices are cheaper and temperatures are reasonable, at around 11· Celsius (52· Fahrenheit) in Athens.
1. Sightseeing
The lack of crowds makes it a pleasure to visit major sights such as the Acropolis, Delphi, the Knossos on Rhodes, and the Temple of Athena on Lindos.
2. Shopping
Most designer stores in Athens are found in upmarket Kolonaki. Sales hit at the end of January and last up to five weeks, although the current financial crisis in Greece has led to retail bargains all year around.
